Amanda Seyfried Borrows Julia Roberts’ Outfit to Twin on Red Carpet
Amanda Seyfried is a super trouper for a threequel.
The Emmy winner weighed in on whether a third installment to the Mamma Mia! franchise is on its way.
“It is, yes,” Amanda told Deadline Sept. 8 while attending the Toronto International Film Festival, before cautiously adding, “I think.”
The 39-year-old also addressed the willingness of fellow cast members like Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Skarsgård to participate in another installment of the ABBA jukebox musical.
“We all said, ‘Yeah, definitely,’” she continued. “It’s our way of marketing and getting support. Big movies like that are all about studio timing.”
In fact, Amanda said that the timing of 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was directly connected to Wicked, which ultimately premiered in 2024 with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
“I remember they did Mamma Mia! 2 instead of Wicked,” the Mean Girls alum explained. “They could only do one big movie at that time, so we ended up slotting into that. So, it’s about silly things like that.”
But Amanda isn’t the only Mamma Mia! alum eager to board the ship. Judy Craymer, who is the creator and producer of Mamma Mia! The Musical and the (dancing) queen of any connected projects, confirmed there is a script for a third film and that “it’ll happen when it happens.”

“We know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen,” she told Deadline in May. “We brought together this amazing group of movie stars that were all connected through it and huge friendships evolved.”
“It’s not about sequels or redoing stuff. It’s about people engaging with characters,” Judy continued. “The movie is important for me creatively more than anything. But also because I think the world needs another fun experience.”
