The Princess of Genovia is back!
During an episode ofWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenlast week,Anne Hathawayrevealed that there is a script for a newThePrincess Diariesfilm. It would follow the original movie from 2001, and 2004’sThePrincess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement —and it may includeJulie Andrews, now 83, who famously played Queen Clarisse Renaldi, Hathaway’s character’s grandmother.
The mother of one continued, “It’s as important to us as it is to you, and we don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it.”
Here’s everything we know:
There’s already a script
The 36-year-old actress confirmed to Cohen that there’s already a completed script for a potential third installment. “I want to do it,” she said.
“Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen. It’s just we don’t want to unless it’s perfect because we love it just as much as you guys love it.”
Julie Andrews is game
According to Hathaway, “Julie wants to do it.” For Andrews, it would mark her return to the big screen following a small part in Dwayne Johnson’s 2010 family comedyTooth Fairy. She’s lent her voice to a number of projects, most recentlyAquaman, but has shied away from acting in movies. (She famously opted out of making a cameo inMary Poppins Returns.)

It might be set in Manhattan
The director of the first two films,Gary Marshall, who died in July 2016,told PEOPLE in March 2016he was planning on making a third film with theOcean’s 8actress.
The original film starred Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis, an awkward teenager in San Francisco who is told she’s the heir to the Genovian throne after her father dies. The sequel introducedChris Pineto the series as Mia’s love interest.
A Broadway musical?
Back in July 2017, Meg Cabot — who wroteThe Princess Diariesbook series — addressed rumors ofa possible third filmin an interview withEntertainment Weekly.
“Actually, the one thing I’m really hoping for is a musical, so I hope we have a Broadway musical … obviously, somebody has to write the music and lyrics, and I’m not gonna do that because that’s not where my talents lie,” she said. “So, I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that someday we’re gonna get one of those. That would be so fun.
