'Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again!' is set for release on July 20, 2018.

Universal have been working on the sequel to the original 2008 hit for a while but now it looks like things are finally slotting into place as they've given it a working title and a dropped a date in which it's expected to reach cinemas across the globe.

According to Variety, 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' scribe Ol Parker will be penning and directing the new flick, while Playtone Pictures, which produced the first instalment, has jumped back on board for the forthcoming film.

The iconic musical focused on a bride-to-be (Amanda Seyfried) trying to find her real father so that he can walk her down the aisle on her big day. But she's in for a shock when she realises that there are three potential men that could be her biological dad.

It's not yet known how bosses plan to push the story on but it's thought they may decide to follow the angle of how Sophie's (Seyfried) mother Donna (Meryl Streep) met the three men; Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), Harry Bright (Colin Firth) and Bill Anderson (Stellan Skarsgård) in the years before the original takes place.

The sequel will feature more ABBA songs that weren't included in the 2008 movie alongside with "reprised favourites", according to the film's official Twitter account.

The statement added: "IT'S OFFICIAL MAMMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN in cinemas JULY 2018 #HereWeGoAgain (sic)"

Urgh another film with people singing about Meryl Streep being filled to the brim with cum. Great.

Intrested if they follow the storyline of how Donna met the three potential fathers. That's the only storyline they could do really I supose

[Josiah.]

Here's hoping Waterloo doesn't get stuck in the credits again (and gets into the actual movie portion [also on the soundtrack])!

My wife's favourite film she will be happy. R.

[storybrooke]

I wasn't very keen on the film which is unusual for me as I normally enjoy musicals. However the rest of my family adored it so I can see the film doing really well

[Denver]

Cher has joined the cast

[LukeB]

Looking forward to this but if they have killed off Meryl Streep's character then it's cancelled.

[RileyH]

it's Abba songs though which makes it iconic

[Calderyon]

Abba songs are good only when sung by the original artists. Others just slaughter them.

And musicals are the disease of the movie genre imo. I think that´d why i loathed Frozen so much. Without the musical numbers it could have been a nice animation film.
