A decade after the musical’s success, producer Judy Craymer gave fans a second film filled with more ABBA tunes and mischief on the Greek isles. 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again introduced viewers to a young Donna, played by Lily James, and her three whirlwind romances.
Donna’s origin story also brought Cher into the mix as her mother, Ruby Sheridan. The entire original cast also returned including Donna’s grown-up BFFs Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski), who played a big part in both stories.
After the success of the first two films, Craymer also teased the possibility of a third blockbuster — and many of the movie’s stars have hinted at wanting to go back to Greece one last time.
