"I know it's going to happen": Amanda Seyfried teases 'Mamma Mia! 3'

Amanda Seyfried says she "knows" Mamma Mia! 3 will happen, reveals co-stars' pitch for a ribbon dance sequence and her desire to return as Sophie.

"I know it's going to happen. If there's a need, you know. - Amanda Seyfried"

Washington DC, April 17

Actor Amanda Seyfried has hinted at the possibility of a third instalment of the popular musical franchise 'Mamma Mia!', saying she believes the film will eventually be made, according to People.

Speaking to People at the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Gala, Seyfried said, "It's just interesting that... it'll happen. I know it's going to happen. If there's a need, you know."

The actor, who played Sophie in both the original film and its sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, she said, does not have any concrete updates on the third film, which remains in development.

According to earlier reports, the script for 'Mamma Mia! 3' was completed in May 2025, with producer Judy Craymer confirming progress on the project, according to People.

Seyfried also shared that her co-stars from her upcoming film 'Octet' have been pitching ideas for the sequel, including a ribbon dance sequence.

"The girls in Octet were like, 'Can we be in it?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' It's great, actually," Seyfried said.

She continued, "One of them had an idea for us to dance with ribbons, and I thought, 'That's what it's missing.' ... It's just like what we used to do as kids, like ribbon dancing in dance class," according to People.

The actor has consistently expressed her desire to return to the franchise, previously stating she would continue campaigning to be part of the third film and would be disappointed if she did not reprise her role.

The franchise also starred Meryl Streep as Donna, Sophie's mother, who has also indicated interest in returning, even joking about possible ways her character could reappear, according to People.

While no official announcement has been made yet, speculation around 'Mamma Mia! 3' continues to generate excitement among fans.

Honestly, I love the franchise but I hope they don't just make it for the sake of it. The second one was good, but the story felt a bit stretched. They need a solid script that does justice to the first film's charm.

Ribbon dancing? That sounds like such a fun, whimsical idea! It reminds me of those old Bollywood songs where dancers would use props like that. Could be a beautiful visual sequence if done right.

Waiting for this since forever! My wife is a huge fan. These movies are our go-to for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Just hoping the production doesn't get stuck in development hell. Announce it already!

The key is Meryl Streep. If Donna is not in it, it won't feel the same. They wrote her back in cleverly for the last one, they can do it again. Her presence elevates everything. Fingers crossed!

ABBA's music is timeless. These films introduced a whole new generation to those classics. As long as they pick great songs and have that beautiful Greek island backdrop, it'll be a hit. Simple formula.
