Amanda Seyfried (Sophie Sheridan)

  • Full Name: Amanda Michelle Seyfried

She also stars in the drama films *Finally Dawn* and the thriller *Relay*, both expected in 2025.

The Definitive Update on Mamma Mia! 3

The biggest question for any fan of the franchise is whether a third movie, often referred to as *Mamma Mia! 3*, is actually happening. The answer, as of late 2025, is a resounding yes in terms of development, though a release date remains unconfirmed.

In May 2025, producer Judy Craymer, the creative force behind the original stage musical and the films, confirmed that the sequel is in "active development". She stated, "Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen," which is the most concrete update fans have received in years.

The entire principal cast, including Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård, has publicly expressed their enthusiasm and willingness to return to the Greek islands for another ABBA-filled adventure. The challenge lies in coordinating the schedules of this incredibly busy, A-list ensemble, but the commitment from the key players suggests that the wait for the next chapter in the *Mamma Mia* story will eventually be worth it.

The enduring popularity of the *Mamma Mia* universe is a testament to the cast's chemistry and the timeless appeal of ABBA’s music. As the actors continue to shine in their respective 2025 projects—from Seyfried’s thrillers to Firth’s dramas—fans can rest assured that the spirit of Donna and the Dynamos remains strong, ready to reunite when the time is right.
