We all need this kind of optimism, fantasy, and gay joy. I'm thrilled to work with this brilliant team.”

The screenplay is a collaboration between Matthew López, Casey McQuiston, and Gemma Burgess, with McQuiston being the author of the original bestselling novel. López, who directed the first adaptation, continues to be involved as producer and co-writer. "It’s been a blast to dream up the next chapter of their story as a producer and co-writer, and I’m delighted to be passing the directing baton to Jamie, whose vision and sense of humour will be a perfect match for our film," López said in a statement.

Red, White & Royal Wedding is expected to continue exploring themes of love, identity, and commitment in the context of modern public life. The film will stream exclusively on Prime Video, though an official release date is yet to be announced.
