Amanda Seyfried Reveals Mamma Mia 3 Plans and Meryl Streep’s Uncertain Role!

by

It seems quite clear that musicals are making a comeback, and this trend is likely to continue until the 2025 release of “Wicked For Good.” The initial “Wicked” musical from Universal has been incredibly successful, earning massive profits, awards recognition, and cultural significance since its recent debut. As a result, we might expect more projects featuring singing and dancing in the near future.

Indeed, it was only natural that I would seize the opportunity to inquire from the delightful Amanda Seyfried if the much-anticipated event has moved us any step closer to witnessing “Mamma Mia 3”. Her reply, coupled with some serendipitous occurrences, hints that this “Mean Girls” icon is set to keep her admirers humming along for at least another decade.

Mamma Mia 3 Is ‘Gonna Happen,’ According To Amanda Seyfried

During our discussion about the upcoming series “Long Bright River” on her Peacock subscription, both myself and Nicholas Pinnock found ourselves intrigued by this subject matter. It’s worth noting, given Cher’s mention of a potential “Mamma Mia” sequel as late as last autumn, there’s certainly still a buzz surrounding these topics.

However, as Seyfried explained her commitment to bringing the project to life, she herself was uncertain about where Meryl Streep would fit within this plan. This is what she expressed:

Amanda Seyfried muses that the production of “Mamma Mia 3” could become chaotic given the dual casts, leaving her uncertain about everyone’s locations. She also expresses doubt as to whether Meryl Streep’s character will still be living or deceased.

Nicholas Pinnock: “But all we want to know is, is it gonna happen?”

Amanda Seyfried: “Yeah. It’s gonna happen within the next 12 years, for sure.”

Translate or Rewrite: “Poster Notice: ‘Mamma 3-ia, hitting theaters no later than 2037!’ To clarify, Meryl Streep’s health is not in question here; it seems Amanda Seyfried was hinting at a different aspect of the story. In the 2018 sequel ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again‘, Streep’s character Donna tragically passed away off-screen, leaving her daughter Sophie (Seyfried) expecting a child.”

“The announcement for the upcoming movie ‘Mamma 3-ia‘ on posters states it will be in theaters by 2037. It’s important to note that Meryl Streep’s health is not at issue; instead, Amanda Seyfried may have been referring to the events of the 2018 film ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again‘, where Streep’s character Donna died off-screen, leaving her daughter Sophie (played by Seyfried) pregnant.

You may find that the popular show “Mamma Mia!” isn’t streaming on Peacock at the moment I’ve written this, but don’t let that discourage you! With a subscription starting from just $7.99 a month, you can enjoy the latest offerings from NBC and Bravo, as well as exciting new originals. And here’s some good news: Amanda Seyfried’s limited-series “Long Bright River” is now ready for binge-watching! Take advantage of this deal now.

The perspective suggests that, as the phrase “two different casts” may imply, Mamma Mia 3 might continue by following the concurrent tales of Donna and Sophie’s exploration of motherhood. This could involve Sophie delving deeper into her mother’s diaries while nurturing her son, Donny. These events would provide an opportunity for both Meryl Streep and Lily James, portraying Donna and the Dynamos’ lead singer respectively, to reprise their roles in a touching storyline that is sure to tug at heartstrings.

Regarding Amanda Seyfried’s hypothetical 2037 deadline, it appears she’s aiming for a timeframe that would position her around the age Meryl Streep was when portraying Donna in the 2008 original. This could potentially mark a significant milestone, as it might pave the way for Seyfried to bring her vision for Mamma Mia 3‘s musical scene to life. Additionally, this could further endear her to her Mamma Mia enthusiast daughter.

Amanda Seyfried Might Also Be Up For Taking Part Of Mamma Mia’s 2025 Broadway Revival

It’s increasingly clear that a third installment of “Mamma Mia” is imminent, as we’re currently in the pre-sale phase for the Broadway revival of the original show. This information also made me curious during this interview about whether Amanda Seyfried would consider being part of the production, even if it was just for a short span.

The answer she gave TopMob is so fun, you really need to watch it unfold for yourself:

The prospects for “Mamma Mia” seem promising, and if “Wicked For Good” continues its success like it did initially, that prediction could become even more accurate. On the other hand, if “Mamma Mia” manages to gross over $500 million during the summer of “The Dark Knight,” I’d still consider it a confident move to start formulating plans. People can’t wait for another chance to belt out “Waterloo” in public, and who are we to deny them that joy?

Even though we’re in a holding pattern for another sequel, Amanda Seyfried enthusiasts have an engaging option to enjoy right now. Streaming on Peacock is her gripping limited series, “Long Bright River,” which offers a captivating marathon of a heartrending family drama. Should either “Mamma Mia 3” or a possible Broadway performance by Ms. Seyfried materialize, rest assured TopMob will break the news quicker than you can query, “Does your mother know?
