It’s happening… well, almost. After years of fan speculation and nostalgic hope, Whoopi Goldberg has officially confirmed that the script for Sister Act 3 is finished. But there’s one big catch: it all comes down to whether Disney decides to move forward.
<h3 class="" data-start="492" data-end="542">“It Only Matters If Disney Wants to Do It”</h3>
<img decoding="async" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/kK4wIoajpf56KiIoD2I.EA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDA7aD0xNjAw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/variety.com/862688833d42e7f743865ca236c00d94" />
On the Oscars red carpet this year — 34 years after she took home an Academy Award for Ghost — Goldberg dropped the long-awaited update while speaking with Variety.
<blockquote data-start="716" data-end="940">
“We’re hoping it’ll happen sometime this year,” Goldberg shared. But when asked how she felt about the completed script, she kept it real: “It doesn’t matter what I think. It only matters if Disney wants to do it.”
</blockquote>
That one sentence sent fans into a frenzy online, reigniting buzz around the beloved franchise.
<h3 class="" data-start="1044" data-end="1085">A Franchise Fans Refuse to Let Go</h3>
<img decoding="async" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/NzWnpQuMTcrHXmEzqxTCbQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTQyNw--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/people_218/afad89353712545b5d55bf13f7735c45" alt="Sister Act 3 Confirmed, Whoopi Goldberg to Star and Produce Alongside Tyler Perry" />
Goldberg first starred in Sister Act in 1992, a comedy classic that pulled in a massive $231 million on a $31 million budget. She reprised her role as Deloris Wilson — a lounge singer turned nun in witness protection — in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit the following year.
While the sequel didn’t match the financial magic of the original, it earned cult status and generations of fans. Ever since, rumors of a third film have swirled for years, especially after Goldberg herself teased it in interviews.
Then, in 2020, everything seemed to fall into place when Disney announced during their Investor Day event that Sister Act 3 was officially in development for Disney+, with Goldberg not only starring but also producing alongside Tyler Perry.
<h3 class="" data-start="1862" data-end="1909">A Setback and a Promise to Move Forward</h3>

Sadly, plans were hit with an emotional hurdle following the passing of Maggie Smith in September — who played the sharp-tongued Mother Superior.
Goldberg addressed the loss, confirming:
<blockquote data-start="2107" data-end="2264">
“We’re having to make some readjustments because we just lost Maggie Smith, as you know. And so, we will get it done. We will get it done. It’s a shift.”
</blockquote>
Despite the setback, Goldberg seems determined to see the sequel through.
<h3 class="" data-start="2346" data-end="2387">What We Know About Sister Act 3</h3>

So far, plot details are tightly under wraps, but fans can expect Goldberg’s Deloris Wilson to don the habit once again. And with the recent resurgence of musicals in film and TV, Sister Act 3 could be the perfect nostalgic-meets-modern hit.
The fact that Tyler Perry is attached as a producer only adds fuel to the hype, and speculation is already swirling about which A-list stars and powerhouse singers could join the cast.

It’s been 27 years since Sister Act 2, and the world is craving a little optimism and joy. Goldberg herself hinted before that this sequel would need to evolve with the times, learning from the second film’s missteps and reflecting today’s world.
And let’s be honest — with Whoopi back in her habit and a gospel choir backing her up, who wouldn&#8217;t want to see this happen?

The Sister Act 3 script is ready. Whoopi’s on board. Fans are on fire. Now, it’s Disney’s move.
If they greenlight it, expect a wave of 90s nostalgia and feel-good musical numbers to hit Disney+ in a big way. Until then, Goldberg’s message is clear: stay tuned.
