Red, White & Royal Wedding is directed by Jamie Babbit from a screenplay by Tony Award winner Matthew López, Gemma Burgess, and Red, White & Royal Blue author Casey McQuiston. López made his directorial debut with the first Red, White & Royal Blue film, which became the #1 Movie Worldwide on Prime Video in 2023.

Berlanti Schechter Films’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter have returned to produce the film, joined by the banner’s Michael McGrath, as well as López and Sullivan Street Productions’ Jennifer Salke. Casey McQuiston and Michael Constable serve as executive producers. 

López won the Tony Award for Best Play for The Inheritance. More recently, his work was seen on Broadway with the musical adaptation of the classic film Some Like It Hot, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. Off-Broadway credits include The Whipping Man (Manhattan Theatre Club) and The Legend of Georgia McBride (MCC Theater). Check out BroadwayWorld's interview with López about the first film HERE.
