Is Pop Star Sabrina Carpenter Joining Mamma Mia 3? Here’s What We Know

Could Sabrina Carpenter be heading to a Greek island and belting out ABBA hits in the next Mamma Mia 3 movie?

Could Sabrina Carpenter be heading to a Greek island and belting out ABBA hits in the next Mamma Mia 3 movie? Fans certainly hope so, and recent hints from key names attached to the franchise are fueling speculation that the pop star might just make her big-screen debut in the beloved musical universe. The Mamma Mia! franchise began in 2008 with Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried leading a heartwarming, sun-soaked story set to ABBA’s greatest hits.

Its sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, dropped a decade later, and ever since, loyal fans have been clamouring for a third film. While rumours have popped up on and off over the years, the buzz around Mamma Mia 3 has recently grown louder. Amanda Seyfried, who plays Sophie in the films, was recently asked by Entertainment Tonight about the possibility of a third instalment. In her usual playful style, she joked that Mamma Mia 3 was definitely happening, maybe not right away, but hopefully before the year 2038. Not exactly confirmation, but not denial either.

Meanwhile, Judy Craymer, producer of the franchise, gave fans more hope during an interview with Deadline. She spoke about how the timeless appeal of ABBA’s music continues to resonate across generations, name-dropping stars like Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa as examples of younger artists who are heavily influenced by the iconic group’s songs. When asked whether Carpenter could be part of the next Mamma Mia, Craymer imagined her as a dazzling new character, possibly a goddess or someone with a strong visual resemblance to Meryl Streep’s Donna.
Fans online, however, have their own ideas. Many are rooting for Sabrina to play Sophie’s daughter, a next-generation character that would keep the family saga going. But there’s just one little hiccup: Carpenter is only about 13 years younger than Amanda Seyfried, who plays Sophie. Would that even make sense?

Surprisingly, Amanda’s totally open to it. In a previous interview with ABC News, she said that if it came down to it, she’d be happy to wear aging makeup if that’s what it takes. She added that she’s a big fan of Sabrina and would be thrilled to make that storyline happen. While nothing is officially confirmed yet, the excitement is real, and if the stars align (and ABBA approves), Sabrina Carpenter might just be headed to Kalokairi next.
