Nationwide — Tyler Perry recently confirmed that Sister Act 3 is still in the works and moving forward. He expressed his excitement about the project, acknowledging that it’s been a long time coming.
The journey began back in November 2018 when Tyler Perry and Whoopi Goldberg discussed the idea on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Two years later, Disney officially announced the project, with Goldberg set to reprise her iconic role and Perry coming on board as a producer.
Goldberg herself is eagerly anticipating the film’s production, saying, “It’s coming. We gotta shoot it, but it’s happening. You’re never fully happy with a script because one of the things you find is you wanna have the space to make an adjustment if you need to.”
The cast of Sister Act 3 may feature stars like Lizzo and Keke Palmer, and there’s an effort to reunite original cast members for a special celebration on The View marking the 30th anniversary of Sister Act 2. Goldberg also reached out to Sheryl Lee Ralph to come back.
Moreover, Perry emphasized the importance of getting everything right for the film.
“Well, just making sure we have the right writers, the right script, the right story, [and] all of those things are so important because it’s such an important, iconic film. We want to make sure we do it justice and do it well, so we’re willing to wait for the right script.”
