It has been 11 years since Anne Hathaway graced our screens as awkward teen turned princess Mia Thermopolis, alongside Julie Andrews as the graceful Queen Clarisse Renaldi of Genovia, in the beloved franchise that was based on a series of novels by Meg Cabot. And now, after years of rumors, Hollywood insider website Tracking Board says Walt Disney Pictures is moving ahead with the _Princess Diaries 3_. Disney is obviously keeping this one under wraps and hasn’t confirmed whether the film is going ahead, let alone if Hathaway will reprise the role that helped launch her to acting stardom. But Debra Chase, the producer of the first two movies, is reportedly on board to take the helm of the reboot. Fingers crossed this isn’t just another rumor. \[[_Tracking Board_](http://www.tracking-board.com/tb-exclusive-disney-set-to-crown-a-3rd-princess-diaries/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3923878/princess-diaries-3-sequel-movie-walt-disney-pictures-anne-hathaway-julie-andrews/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3923878/princess-diaries-3-sequel-movie-walt-disney-pictures-anne-hathaway-julie-andrews/"},"headline":"The Princess Diaries 3 May Actually Become Reality","datePublished":"2015-06-17T08:27:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:16:27.316Z","description":"Everybody get excited","url":"https://time.com/3923878/princess-diaries-3-sequel-movie-walt-disney-pictures-anne-hathaway-julie-andrews/","keywords":["movies","sequel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9066e507a7ce5f55/698854da0b72e36f506e4812/anna-hathaway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Helen Regan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/helen-regan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9066e507a7ce5f55/698854da0b72e36f506e4812/anna-hathaway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Actress Anne Hathaway attends 'A Midsummer Night's Dream\" New York premiere at DGA Theater on June 15, 2015 in New York City.","caption":"Actress Anne Hathaway attends 'A Midsummer Night's Dream\" New York premiere at DGA Theater on June 15, 2015 in New York City.","creditText":"Noam Galai—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3923878/princess-diaries-3-sequel-movie-walt-disney-pictures-anne-hathaway-julie-andrews/","name":"The Princess Diaries 3 May Actually Become Reality"}}]}] ```
