In 2020 Disney previously announced to investors plans to make a third Sister Act movie with star Whoopi Goldberg returning to the iconic franchise to both star and produce. It has now been confirmed who will helm the project. Tim Federle the director of High School Musical The Series will be taking control of the project.

Apparently Federle has continued to impress the studio with his recent work on the still yet to be released Better Nate Than Never  making them confident that he’s a safe pair of hands to guide the admittedly unexpected sequel to fruition.

The plot of the new Sister Act film has not yet been specifically revealed, but obvious speculation is that Whoopi Goldberg’s Deloris will be finding herself once more in some form of trouble alongside the nuns and students of St Katherine’s Roman Catholic Church.

Tyler Perry is also attached to produce the project with ambitions for the finished film to make it’s debut on Disney + at some point in 2023 or early 2024.
