Ten years after the release of Mamma Mia, studio executives are taking a chance on the sequel to the smash musical hit. 

 

《妈妈咪呀》上映十年后，制作方大胆拍摄续集，企图再掀音乐片热潮。
 

 

Super troupers Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth are set to reprise their roles. 

 

The songs of Abba will also be back to provide a fresh soundtrack, featuring some songs which did not make it in to the original. 

 

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is scheduled for release in July 2018. 

 

The original film was based on a musical first staged in London's West End, but its successor is set to be written and directed by British filmmaker Ol Parker. 

 

The 2008 Mamma Mia was based on a bride-to-be's scheme to discover her father's identity - by inviting¹ all three possible candidates to her wedding. 

 

Despite mixed reviews, it made money, money, money - an estimated $600m worldwide, almost 12 times its budget. 

 

The musical is so successful there has even been a musical restaurant based on the Greek wedding of the plot.
