@annehathaway Miracles happen ✨👑 Back to Genovia with @Disney Studios & @Somewhere Pictures. The fairy tale continues ❤️🔥 ♬ original sound – Anne Hathaway The excitement around the continuation of Mia’s story grew when Hathaway posted an Instagram reel featuring clips from the first two films, captioning it, “Miracles happen. Back to Genovia.
The fairy tale continues.” This post not only confirmed her involvement but also reassured fans that the new film would continue Mia’s story rather than rebooting the beloved series. Hathaway, who rose to fame following the success of the original The Princess Diaries film in 2001, will also serve as a producer on The Princess Diaries 3 .
The original film, directed by Gary Marshall and based on Meg Cabot’s book, initially told the story of a teenager who learns she is the heir to the throne of the fictional European nation of Genovia.
