“My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3” to Be Filmed in Greece

Nia Vardalos took to Instagram on April 7 to share updates on “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3”. Fans have been waiting to hear about the highly anticipated sequel to her hit 2002 comedy.

The actress and producer confirmed on social media that a second sequel to the original film is in the works. Apparently someone had already found out and leaked the news. Vardalos has been trying to write a script for the past year.

“Yes, it is true that for over a year we have been trying to film a script that I wrote called ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3’,” she says in the video, adding that, “of course the entire cast is invited back.”

However, she also stated that because it’s an independent film they cannot go ahead and shoot. “Independent films cannot get insurance”, Vardalos shared on social media.

The actress even joked about the requests she’s been getting from fans for the film. “Although I love your enthusiasm, maybe some of you can stop calling my mum’s house and asking if you can be in it”, Vardalos added.
