Amazon MGM has officially provided an update on the highly anticipated Red, White & Royal Blue sequel — now titled Red, White & Royal Wedding. Although the follow-up was first confirmed during a For Your Consideration (FYC) event in May 2024, we now have a few more juicy details to sink our teeth into.
While the original film covered all major events from Casey McQuiston’s best-selling novel, the sequel will feature brand-new material — and fans are eager to see how the next chapter of Alex and Henry’s love story unfolds.
Is Nicholas Galitzine Returning as Prince Henry?
Yes! Nicholas Galitzine is confirmed to reprise his role as the charming and reserved Prince Henry of Wales.
Since his breakout performance in Red, White & Royal Blue, Galitzine has been on a hot streak with major roles in The Idea of You, 100 Nights of Hero, Mary & George, and the upcoming Masters of the Universe.
Is Taylor Zakhar Perez Back as Alex Claremont-Diaz?
Also yes! Taylor Zakhar Perez will return as the charismatic First Son, Alex Claremont-Diaz.
Best known for The Kissing Booth 2 and Minx, Perez — lovingly dubbed “TZP” by fans — has become both a red carpet regular and Hollywood heartthrob since the film’s release.
What’s the Title of the Sequel?
The sequel will officially be titled Red, White & Royal Wedding — a fitting name that promises a celebration of love, politics, and queer royal visibility.
Who’s Directing Red, White & Royal Wedding?
Jamie Babbit has taken the reins as director for the sequel. She’s best known for the cult classic But I’m a Cheerleader and hit series Only Murders in the Building.
Although Red, White & Royal Blue was directed by Matthew López, he’ll now focus on screenwriting duties alongside author Casey McQuiston for this second instalment.
Are Matthew López and Casey McQuiston Still Involved?
Absolutely. Both López and McQuiston are returning as co-writers for Red, White & Royal Wedding.
McQuiston, the author of the original novel, is closely involved in shaping the story, while López — who helmed the first film — steps back from directing to collaborate on the screenplay.
When Is Red, White & Royal Wedding Coming Out?
Unfortunately, there’s still no confirmed release date.
According to the most recent information available via IMDb Pro, the sequel was still in the “treatment” phase of development as of January 2025. Fans may have to wait a bit longer for official news on production timelines and release dates.
