Amanda Seyfried Teases ‘Mamma Mia 3’ Is On the Way
Fans of the Mamma Mia! franchise, rejoice! Amanda Seyfried, who played Sophie Sheridan in the beloved ABBA musical films, recently dropped exciting hints about a potential third installment.

The actress also floated the idea of Euphoria and Anyone But You star Sydney Sweeney joining the cast, sparking fan excitement. Seyfried praised Sweeney’s talent and energy, suggesting she’d be a perfect fit for the musical’s vibrant world.
The Unstoppable ‘Mamma Mia!’ Phenomenon
Since its 2008 debut, Mamma Mia! has been a global sensation, blending ABBA’s timeless hits with a heartwarming story set on a picturesque Greek island. The sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018), further expanded the franchise, introducing younger versions of beloved characters and adding stars like Cher and Andy Garcia.
With over $1 billion in combined box office earnings, the films have cemented their place as feel-good classics. Now, Seyfried’s comments suggest the franchise isn’t done yet.
Could Sydney Sweeney Join the Cast?
Seyfried’s suggestion of Sydney Sweeney for Mamma Mia 3 has fans buzzing. Sweeney, known for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, recently showcased her singing in Anyone But You, making her an ideal candidate.
While her potential role remains a mystery, theories include:
– A new love interest for Sophie’s next chapter
– A younger version of an existing character
– A fresh face leading a new generation of ABBA fans
What Could ‘Mamma Mia 3’ Be About?
Though no official plot details exist, possibilities include:
– Sophie’s Journey: Exploring motherhood and new family dynamics
