Chad Michael Murray Has The Perfect Idea For "A Cinderella Story 2"
A Cinderella Story isn't just a movie — it's honestly a cultural moment. The costume montage, the spastic colons and synchronized swimming, the rain in this drought... even Gavin Degraw singing over the One Tree Hilltrailer on the DVD stands out! Everything about this film is ingrained in our collective conscious, making Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray the Y2k blueprint for many of the "It" pairings we know and love today.
When the credits rolled, our Princeton royalty were preparing for their freshman year of college, dreaming of happily-ever-after — or at least graduation — and that was that! But in this era of reboots, I've often wondered what happened to our OG tortured poets after the credits rolled. Luckily, I'm not the only one! Chad Michael Murray just tee'd up a sequel, and yes that's me you hear squealing right now. Here's everything we know about what's to come for everyone's fave modern fairytale!
Has "A Cinderella Story 2" been announced?
There's been no formal announcement yet, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost. During his press tour for Mother of the Bride, Chad Michael Murray told ETthat he's definitely interested in bringing Austin Ames back. He said that even his daughter told him, "You need to make another one of these, Daddy," after she watched A Cinderella Story for the first time.
He says one plot idea could bring Austin and Sam back together after time apart. "As we know, things don't always work out," he says. "I think they went their separate ways and we bring them back now — post-splits from their significant others — into a new Cinderella Story." You really can't go wrong with second chance romances, can you?
"Here you go, Hil," he continues. "From me to you, let's do it!" — referring to Hilary Duff, of course! The timing couldn't be better either, given that Hilary just gave birth to her fourth child and could hypothetically be available to film in the coming months...just saying!
Again, there's no official information about this project yet, but with one of two central actors on board, we're one step closer to my own personal happily-ever-after — a real sequel to A Cinderella Story once and for all.
Is there a part two to a Cinderella story?

There's Another Cinderella Story, starring Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley, but that's more so a part of a series of "Cinderella stories" rather than an actual sequel. So far, we haven't gotten a follow-up on our Princeton-bound faves. But never say never ;).
