Development

In late June 2016, Nia Vardalos hinted at the possibility of a third film, saying that although no writing has been done, she does have an idea.[6] On April 8, 2021, it was announced that My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 was in development, to be written by Vardalos as an independent film, who will also reprise her role as co-star.[7] The project was also revealed to have been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in which production will commence once the studios maintains insurance for its crew, with principal photography scheduled to take place in Greece.[8] On October 1, 2021, Vardalos confirmed that the script for the third film had been completed and that it would involve another Greek wedding.[9] On June 22, 2022, it was announced that Vardalos will serve as director on the third film.[10]
