Overview
Where to watchStreaming information not confirmed.
Anne Hathaway is set to return as Mia Thermopolis and produce The Princess Diaries 3, with Adele Lim directing. Lim said in 2026 that work on the project was progressing and that familiar faces could return, but Disney has not announced a production start, release date, full cast, or confirmed plot. Julie Andrews has said she does not plan to reprise Queen Clarisse. The sequel therefore has a clear lead and director while several practical details remain unsettled. Disney's D23 2026 presentation brought Hathaway onstage beneath The Princess Diaries branding, providing current official franchise imagery without presenting it as a finished film poster.
