LOS ANGELES, May 20: A sequel to the 2008 superhit “Mamma Mia” is in the works with English filmmaker Ol Parker writing and directing the new movie.
Universal Pictures has dated the film, titled “Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!”, for July 20 next year, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Much of the original movie’s cast, which included Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, are expected to return.
