Pierce Brosnan’s Busy 2024 and 2025 Slate. Pierce Brosnan's career remains as robust as ever. In 2024, he starred in the films *The Great Lillian Hall* and the crime western *The Unholy Trinity*.

The Freshest Updates on Mamma Mia 3: Is It Happening?

The question of whether a third *Mamma Mia* movie will happen has been a constant source of speculation since the sequel's release. As of late 2025, the news is the most promising it has ever been, driven by the enthusiasm of the cast and the original creative team, including producer Judy Craymer.

The Script is Completed. Multiple cast members have confirmed that a script for *Mamma Mia 3* has been completed. This moves the project from a hopeful idea to a tangible possibility, suggesting a concrete direction for the story, which would serve as a follow-up to the events of *Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again*.

The Cast is Ready. Key actors have publicly expressed their eagerness to return to the roles of the Dynamos and the Dads. Pierce Brosnan, who plays Sam, has stated that "everyone is ready" to make a third film. Similarly, Amanda Seyfried has confirmed that the main cast has said "yes" to the sequel. Christine Baranski (Tanya) has also teased her return, noting that the cast would "all go out" for the project.

The Creative Force Behind the Scenes. Producer Judy Craymer, the original mastermind behind the stage musical and the films, has been the primary advocate for a trilogy. With the script in place, the main hurdle remains the official green-light from Universal Pictures, though the high-profile support from the cast and the success of the first two films make it an increasingly likely prospect for the late 2020s. The potential for a third film has the entire cast, including the beloved Dynamos (Donna, Tanya, and Rosie), excited to return to the fictional Greek island of Kalokairi for another ABBA-fueled adventure.
