After officially Red, White & Royal Blue sequel in 2026.
The actor recently revealed plans to reprise his role as Alex Claremont-Diaz for Red, White & Royal Wedding “in the new year,” teasing that he’s read the script by Gemma Burgess, Casey McQuiston.
“There’s a huge appetite for the sequel so I’m looking forward to it,” he told E! News earlier this month. “I read the script and it’s really good.”

When asked if he can share anything about the sequel, Perez said “nothing at all,” adding: “They will come for me. Amazon will find me.”
Last month, Deadline reported that Amazon MGM Studios has officially Jamie Babbit taking over for director López from the original 2023 adaptation.
In Red, White & Royal Blue, President Ellen Claremont’s (Uma Thurman) son Alex (Zakhar Perez) has an embarrassing encounter with Prince Henry (Galatzine), threatening US/UK relations and his mother’s reelection campaign. While attempting to clean up the bad press, the pair is forced to pretend to be best friends, during which the unlikely pair secretly falls in love.
Perez and Nicholas Galitzine reunite for the sequel, with Berlanti Schechter Films’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter returning to produce, joined by the banner’s Michael McGrath, as well as López. McQuiston will executive produce.
I hope it gets more acclaim and respect.
I hope the sequel gets nominations across the board. The first film should have won the Emmy. They have great chemistry
