LOS ANGELES, May 16 — Universal Pictures has released a new featurette for highly anticipated sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and it certainly has us smiling in glee.
A sequel to the popular 2008 film Mamma Mia!, this film sees the return of its original all-star cast like Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard.

The synopsis of the film reads: “Get ready to sing and dance, laugh and love all over again. Ten years after Mamma Mia!

With the film’s original cast returning and new additions including James, the musical comedy will open in Summer 2018. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman, producers of the original film. Reprising their roles from Mamma Mia! The Movie are Academy Award winner Streep as Donna, Walters as Rosie and Baranski as Tanya. Seyfried and Cooper reunite as Sophie and Sky, while Brosnan, Skarsgård and Firth return to play Sophie’s three possible dads: Sam, Bill and Harry.
