Amazon MGM Studios has officially greenlit the sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue, with acclaimed filmmaker Jamie Babbit set to direct. The new film, titled Red, White & Royal Wedding, will see Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez reprise their roles as Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz.

Babbit, best known for her groundbreaking queer classic But I’m a Cheerleader, said in an Amazon MGM Studios press release, “After directing But I’m a Cheerleader in my 20s, I’m thrilled to be back in the queer love universe of Red, White & Royal Wedding. We all need this kind of optimism, fantasy, and gay joy.”
Babbit’s directing credits span film and television, including Only Murders in the Building, Russian Doll, A League of Their Own, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The L Word and Gilmore Girls.
