Production edit
On June 3, 2015, it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures had hired Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith and Karen McCullah to write a screenplay for a remake of 1992's Sister Act with Allison Shearmur set to serve as a producer.[1] The remake was ultimately unproduced, however.
On August 19, 2017, Sister Act star Whoopi Goldberg expressed interest in directing a potential third installment of the franchise.[2] On December 7, 2018, it was announced that Disney had redeveloped the production into a sequel to Sister Act and Sister Act 2 and that they had hired screenwriters Regina Hicks and Karin Gist to write the film's screenplay. Additionally, the film was now expected to be distributed via their streaming service Disney+.[3]
The film was confirmed on December 10, 2020 at Disney Investor Day with Goldberg reprising her role as Deloris and Tyler Perry producing.[4] On September 30, 2021, Madhuri Shekar joined as writer, with Tim Federle set to direct; he was hired due to his work on the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and the strong response between executives towards his then-upcoming Disney+ film Better Nate Than Ever.[5] On November 3, 2021, Perry confirmed that work on the screenplay had already began.[6]
In February 2024, it was revealed that Sheryl Lee Ralph would reprise her role as Florence Watson in the film.[7]
