The Portokalos family will be gracing our screens once again in the sequel to My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, which will premiere in September.
Nearly six years after the family last graced our screens in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, this time the clan is returning to embark on a journey to Greece for a family reunion.
The third film in the series will be the first without the film’s patriarch Gus, played by Michael Constantine, who died in 2021, but was written with his blessing.

Nia Vardalos, who plays Tula and who wrote the first two films, shared on Instagram, ‘He had told me he wouldn’t be able to join us for the third film and his wish was that we go on. I wrote the screenplay to reflect Michael’s decision and will always treasure his last messages to me, hoping we were filming soon.’
The filming of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 began on June 21, 2022, and largely took place in Greek capital Athens, and on the island of Corfu, wrapping less than two months later on August 4. Vardalos has written and directed the third instalment, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have produced the film, and the original cast will all return.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 will premiere in cinemas on 8 September.
