The highly anticipated sequel to ‘Red, White & Royal Blue’ enters production with Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine back on set, igniting global conversation.
The world of ‘Red, White & Royal Blue’ is officially back in motion. Its sequel, titled ‘Red, White & Royal Wedding’, has begun filming — and it does so with a direct nod to fans: Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine reunite on camera, confirming that Alex and Henry’s story continues and that the LGBTQ+ romantic phenomenon that captivated audiences is taking its next step.
The announcement arrived via a video shared on the film’s official social media channels, showing both actors back on set, dressed in pyjamas, in what appears to be a bedroom scene. Rather than revealing major plot points, the clip leans into the humour and chemistry that defined the first film. “We’re here for Bea’s wedding,” Zakhar Perez says, referencing the sister of Galitzine’s character, while the British actor jokingly adds that they just wanted “to clarify.” The message is clear: it’s not their wedding… at least, not yet.
Despite the playful misdirection, all signs point to Alex and Henry’s wedding becoming a central narrative thread of the sequel — a direction fans have been anticipating since the end of the first film. While plot details remain tightly under wraps, the title ‘Red, White & Royal Wedding’ leaves little room for interpretation and only heightens expectations around the couple’s next chapter.
The project reunites Matthew López, director of the original film, who co-wrote the sequel script alongside Casey McQuiston, author of the original novel, and Gemma Burgess. In previous statements, López explained that the aim of the sequel is to honour what audiences loved about the first film while also challenging expectations about what comes next for the characters. This time, directing duties are handled by Jamie Babbit, reinforcing creative continuity within the franchise.
Since its release, ‘Red, White & Royal Blue’ has established itself as one of the most influential romantic titles in recent streaming history, blending politics, royalty and queer representation with an accessible, emotionally resonant tone. The start of production on ‘Red, White & Royal Wedding’ not only confirms the studio’s confidence in the franchise, but also the cultural impact of a story that continues to grow beyond the screen.
With Alex and Henry back, a wedding on the horizon and a fandom more engaged than ever, the sequel is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about romantic releases of the coming months. The story continues — and this time, all roads seem to lead to the altar.
