Opa! Nearly six years after My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 reunited the comedic cast onscreen, they are ready to make more movie magic once again with a third film in the franchise.
“I have an announcement. So, we are in Greece filming My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3,” Nia Vardalos, who starred as Toula Portokalos in the first two films, explained in a June 2022 Instagram video. “Thank you so much for the lovely messages and waiting. I’m in a little room getting ready to go down and film.”
The Canada native, who also penned the films, explained that they were filming in “the beautiful Plaka of Athens” before teaching her followers the Greek word for director. She quipped: “Guess who the director is? It’s me!”
In addition to her social media video, Vardalos used her caption to thank production companies Playtone, Gold Circle, HBO and Focus, as well as devoted fans for “much love and gratitude” as the team waited to film in Greece.
Vardalos’ My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which was released in 2002, followed 30-something Toula as she worked in her family’s Greek restaurant in Chicago while dodging their countless matchmaking attempts. She vows to take control of her life by enrolling in a computer class at a local college and working for her aunt’s travel agency. Soon, she falls in love with schoolteacher Ian Miller (John Corbett). While the family is initially shocked that Ian is not Greek, they eventually come around to throw a massive Greek wedding celebration.
The film, which earned Vardalos an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay, went on to inspire My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 in which Toula and Ian are raising their daughter Paris (Elena Kampouris) as she prepares to leave the nest for college.
