Plot details are unknown as of yet, but Matthew López is teaming up with Casey McQuiston, who wrote the original Red, White & Royal Blue novel, on the script.
Released last summer, Red, White & Royal Blue centred on the relationship between Alex, the son of the US president, and Henry, a British prince.
When the tabloids snap Alex and Henry getting into a fight at a wedding reception, their two respective families devise a damage-control plan, which leads to an unforeseen romance.
Uma Thurman, Clifton Collins Jr, Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, and Stephen Fry also starred in the movie.

López previously spoke to Digital Spy about his adaptation's happy ending.
"When I was growing up as a baby gay, what few stories there were about being queer were always about death and dying," he explained. "So I think one of the reasons I was drawn to this story in the first place was that it had a happy ending. There weren't happy endings in queer movies when I was growing up.
"I don't think it really occurred to me that's probably one of the reasons until after I finished the film. I mean, it sounds so simple, and also sad to be able to report that just is not how queer movies ended in the '90s and the early aughts."
Red, White & Royal Blue is available to watch on Prime Video.
