Sabrina Carpenter Eyed to Play Mia in 'Mamma Mia!' as Producers Plan Third Movie and Broadway Return

 

To say it “Short n’ Sweet” — fans are buzzing at the thought of blonde pop princess Sabrina Carpenter stepping into the shoes of Mia in the iconic Mamma Mia! franchise. Known for her powerhouse vocals and charismatic presence, Sabrina could be the fresh energy this musical universe needs.

According to a Deadline report, producers are seriously considering Carpenter for the leading role in the long-anticipated third installment of the Mamma Mia! film series. The project, still in early development, is being quietly shaped alongside whispered rumors of a TV adaptation, though nothing has been confirmed yet.

At the center of it all is Judy Craymer, the creative force behind the original stage musical and its wildly successful film counterparts. Craymer recently teased fans with hints about a “global sensation” being eyed for a key role — fueling speculation that Sabrina is more than just a name on the list.

With her recent chart-topping hits and rising star status, Carpenter seems like a natural fit for the sun-soaked, ABBA-filled world of Mamma Mia!. If cast, she could bring a modern twist to the legacy while honoring the vibrant, emotional heart that fans adore.

As plans for both a third movie and a Broadway return take shape, one thing’s clear: the Mamma Mia! magic is far from over — and Sabrina Carpenter might just be its next dazzling muse.
