AceShowbiz - Production has officially commenced on the sequel, Red, White & Royal Wedding, which promises to blend love and diplomacy once again. The film is a follow-up to the successful 2023 queer romance film Red, White & Royal Blue, directed by Matthew López and based on Casey McQuiston's novel.
Amazon MGM Studios revealed the complete cast on Wednesday, confirming that stars Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine will reprise their beloved roles. The pair initially captured audiences' hearts in the first film, and fans are eager to see their characters return.
Joining the cast from the original film are notable talents such as Uma Thurman (Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair), Sarah Shahi (Paradise), Rachel Hilson (This Is Us), Ellie Bamber (Moss & Freud), Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey), Stephen Fry (The Morning Show), Thomas Flynn (Run Away), Aneesh Sheth (Marvel’s Jessica Jones), and Malcolm Atobrah (The Running Man). New additions to the cast include Henry Ashton (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) and Alex Høgh Andersen (Vikings).
While the plot details for Red, White & Royal Wedding remain under wraps, the script is credited to Casey McQuiston, Matthew López, and Gemma Burgess. The film will be produced by López alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Michael McGrath for Berlanti Schechter Films, along with Jennifer Salke for Sullivan Street Productions. Additionally, McQuiston and Michael Constable will serve as executive producers.
Recently, the official Instagram account for Red, White & Royal Wedding shared a video featuring Perez and Galitzine, who discussed the wedding at the film's center, which involves Princess Beatrice (Bamber), the sister of Prince Henry, portrayed by Galitzine. Perez commented, “I do want to say that we are here for Bea’s wedding,” while Galitzine added, “Don’t get confused. That’s a long ways off, at this point.”
The launch of production comes on the heels of the success of Heated Rivalry, which explored similar themes of love amidst conflict in its first season, airing late last year on HBO Max.
