Get ready to see Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez together on screen a lot more in the future because Red, White & Royal Blue is officially getting a sequel.

On May 9, Red, White & Royal Blue director Matthew López confirmed the sequel during a special screening in Culver City, California. (The Cast and crew are currently campaigning for a 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards nomination.)

López delivered news of the sequel alongside a few of the cast members, including leading men Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, and, of course, it immediately made the crowd roar in excitement. After delivering the news, a teaser poster for the still unnamed Red, White & Royal Blue 2 was shown to the crowd. It read: “Fancy another bite?” Clearly, we all do.

In case you have been living under a rock, Red, White & Royal Blue, based on Casey McQuiston's best-selling novel of the same name, premiered on Prime Video in July 2023, and it immediately became a hit. The LGBTQ+ rom-com follows Alex (the first son of the United States, played by Taylor Zakhar-Perez) and Prince Henry of the United Kingdom (played by Nicholas Galitzine) in their own high-profile enemies-to-lovers story.

Speaking to Teen Vogue last summer, López opened up about the possibility of a sequel, admitting that one would only happen “ if we have the right story.” He added: “I think there has to be a better reason than simply the desire to make one. There has to be a compelling story reason. I don't think a sequel is a bad idea, but I don't think a sequel for the sake of doing a sequel is necessarily sufficient.”

Well, it looks like they have the story. López —who, aside from directing, also co-penned the original movie with Ted Malawer — will be writing the screenplay Red, White & Royal Blue 2 alongside McQuiston this time around, so the expectations are high, to say the least.

The Red, White & Royal Blue sequel is, once again, being produced by Amazon MGM Studios, and it's been confirmed that Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez will reprise their roles, though there's no word on the rest of the cast yet. Lest we forget, the original cast featured no other than Uma Thurman. A tentative release date is yet to be disclosed and we also don't know if the film could premiere on streaming or theatrically this time around. As usual, stay tuned as we find out more details!
