10/05/2024 07:15

Amazon MGM Studios has greenlit development of a sequel to last year’s successful film adaptation of Casey McQuiston's bestseller “Red, White & Royal Blue”.

The film follows Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), son of newly elected United States President Ellen Claremont (Uma Thurman) and the young millennial face of the White House.

That is until he has to interact with his UK counterpart and rival Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine), causing a major uproar at a wedding. The two are forced to play up their non-existent friendship with a goodwill visit to the UK.

Forced friendship gives way to real friendship, then blossoms into a love affair. The Prime Video film launched on August 11th and quickly became the No. 1 movie globally on Prime Video across its first three weeks of release.

In addition, it quickly became one of Prime Video's top three most-watched romantic comedies of all time and resulted in a huge surge in new Prime membership signups.

Details of the plot of the sequel are under wraps, but it will see Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez return to their roles. Meanwhile the first film’s writer Matthew López has returned to write the script for the sequel, this time with McQuiston co-writing.

López, Michael McGrath, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter will produce the film.
