Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz’s story continues!

On May 10, Amazon MGM Studios announced that a sequel for Red, White & Royal Blue is currently in the works.

The upcoming movie will reunite stars Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez who captured fans’ hearts with their onscreen romance.
