“It’s official, a Red, White, & Royal Blue sequel is in the works!” Amazon MGM Studios tweeted on Thursday, May 9. The studio further confirmed the news with a teaser poster that reads, “Fancy another slice?” The answer is certainly yes.

In a clip posted by Entertainment Weekly, the film’s director, Matthew López, broke the news during a special screening of the film on May 9. “Yes, there’s gonna be a sequel,” he said, and the audience immediately began to cheer.

The rom-com is based on the wildly popular novel of the same title by Casey McQuiston, which was originally published in 2019. It follows Alex (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the U.S. president, and the British Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine), as they fall into an enemies-to-lovers romance and then must keep their relationship secret.

On the page and on the screen, fans grew to love the couple—and they’ve been hoping for a sequel since the film premiered in the summer of 2023. Now, nearly one year later, part two is officially on the way. Ahead, everything you need to know about the Red, White, & Royal Blue sequel.

Who will be in the cast?

The film’s leads, Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, will be reprising their roles as Henry and Alex. As for the rest of the original cast, which includes Uma Thurman as the U.S. president, that still remains unknown.

Is there a release date?

As of now, no official release date has been announced yet.

What will the Red, White, & Royal Blue sequel be about?

McQuiston hasn’t published a book sequel to Red, White, & Royal Blue. According to Entertainment Weekly, the author won’t be writing a second novel but will instead be “directly involved with writing the screenplay.”

Details about the plot haven’t been released yet, but we can look to the ending of the first movie for hints: Alex and Henry go public with their relationship at Buckingham Palace, and Alex’s mom gets elected for another term after Texas finally votes blue. Will the sequel explore how the couple handles dating in the spotlight? We’ll have to wait for Amazon MGM to confirm.
