Trailer for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

Trailer for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
Bigger! Fatter! Greeker! Orginal My Big Fat Greek Wedding star and screenwriter Nia Vardalos announced last year that she was working on a belated follow-up. Now, thanks to the backing of Universal, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is complete and debuting its first trailer. Find your best hat and your least hurty shoes and prepare yourself for the reunion.



The original film told a fictionalised version of Vardalos’ own early relationship with, and marriage to, actor Ian Gomez. The new one continues the tale, with Vardos' Toula Portokalos and husband Ian (John Corbett) unravelling a big family secret at another even larger celebration.

“Now that I’m experiencing motherhood, I’m ready to write the next chapter of my family story,” said Vardalos in her original statement. “Of course a few jaded folks in the press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true.”

Vardalos had planned to direct, but somewhere along the way that job has fallen to Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee, What To Expect When You're Expecting) instead. As before, Tom Hanks is among the producers along with Rita Wilson and Gary Goetzman.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is out in the UK on March 25 next year.
