It’s a big fat Greek reunion with third entry in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise. The official My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 trailer reveals Fotoula ‘Toula’ Portokalos (writer/director/actor Nia Vardalos) is keeping a promise to her late father to take the family back home and locate his old friends.
Among those reprising their roles are John Corbett as Ian Miller, Elena Kampouris as Paris Miller, Gia Carides as Nikki, Joey Fatone as Angelo, Louis Mandylor as Nick Portokalos, Lainie Kazan as Maria Portokalos, and Andrea Martin as Thiea Voula. Sadly, Michael Constantine, who played family patriarch Gus Portokalos in the first two films, passed away in August 2021.
Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman return as producers. Paul Brooks, Scott Niemeyer, and Steven Shareshian serve as executive producers.
The first My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a sleeper hit back in 2002 and still holds the record as the biggest grossing romantic comedy in box office history. The film grossed more than $368 million dollars worldwide during its theatrical run. It also earned Nia Vardalos a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 followed in 2016, but didn’t come close to matching the original film’s box office. The sequel grossed $90 million, which is less than just the domestic gross of the first movie.
Focus Features has set a September 8, 2023 theatrical release for MBFGW 3.

From writer and director Nia Vardalos, the worldwide phenomenon My Big Fat Greek Wedding is coming back to theaters with a brand-new adventure. Join the Portokalos family as they travel to a family reunion in Greece for a heartwarming and hilarious trip full of love, twists and turns. Opa!
