The news was announced on Thursday (9th May) following a special screening of the film in Culver City, California.
"Yes, there's going to be a sequel to the movie," confirmed director Matthew López during the Q&A (via HELLO!).
"Matthew and I are writing it together, that's all we can say," added Casey McQuiston, the author of the novel of the same name, upon which Red, White & Royal Blue is based.
Released last August, Red White & Royal Blue follows an unlikely romantic relationship between two people who have a total disdain for one another: Alex Claremont-Diaz (Perez), the son of the president of the United States (Uma Thurman), and Britain’s Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine).

However, when asked what viewers can expect, López added: "What made this film what it is was that it was made with a lot of love and care, and we all had dog-eared copies of the book on set.
"But we knew what it meant to be people and we were determined not to screw it up, and so the only thing I can say about a sequel is it will be made with the same attention and love."
Both closely-watched rising stars, Galitzine is currently starring opposite Anne Hathaway in romcom The Idea of You, while Perez has also been seen in Starz’s Minx and other projects.
Red, White & Royal Blue is available to watch now on Prime Video.
