Mamma Mia! Might Be Turning Into A Trilogy

Who’s ready for Mamma Mia! 3?

The ABBA musical may be getting yet another sequel after all, according to director Ol Parker.

“Judy Craymer, the genius producer behind the musical and the first two films, always plans for it to be a trilogy,” he recently told Screen Rant. “That’s all I can say. The first one made an enormous amount of money, and I think we made a fair amount too. I know that there is a hunger for a third, and I know that she has a plan. Wouldn’t it be lovely?”

The first Mamma Mia! followed the plot of the popular Broadway musical, deploying ABBA’s greatest hits to accompany a bride-to-be (Amanda Seyfried) as she invites three former acquaintances (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard) of her mother (Meryl Streep) to her wedding, hoping to determine which one of them might be her father.

The next installment served as both a sequel and a prequel, with some of the movie dedicated to exploring Streep’s character’s youth. It added Lily James and Cher to the already stacked cast, and saw Parker take over directing responsibilities.

Although both films received mixed reviews, they have proven to be fan favorites in the world of musicals, for the nostalgia and pure fun of it all.
