“My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is getting a sequel, 12 years after the original film became a surprise hit at the box office.
“My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” is officially in the works from Gold Circle, HBO and Playtone Productions, with Kirk Jones set to direct the sequel for Universal, who will distribute the film domestically and in certain international territories.
Original star Nia Vardalos will return to reprise her role in the sequel, where the revelation of a family secret and an even bigger, fatter wedding brings the Portokalos family together again.
Vardalos also co-wrote the sequel.
