A sequel to the 1994 Australian film ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ is currently in development. Cast members Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving have indicated that the project is moving toward reality, with Pearce noting that the team is working on finalizing the script and securing funding.

Director Stephan Elliott is returning for the sequel. Production details have emerged regarding the late Terence Stamp, who filmed scenes for the project prior to his death in August 2025. Elliott stated he chose to pre-shoot these scenes because Stamp had expressed a desire to “avoid using a digital AI clone of his likeness.”

The current projected timeline suggests filming may occur in 2027, with a potential release in 2028.
