Priscilla Queen of the Desert 2

Priscilla Queen of the Desert 2 is moving forward with principal photography planned for 2027. Writer-director Stephan Elliott returns with the original cast — Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and the late Terence Stamp, who pre-filmed all his scenes before his passing in August 2025. Pearce recently confirmed the production timeline, noting they expect to shoot in 2027 with a 2028 release. The sequel explores aging within the LGBTQ+ community, a departure from simply repeating the original's road-trip formula. Elliott has described the story as focusing on what it means to grow old as gay or trans individuals. The project spent years in development, with the script going through multiple drafts and the team navigating budget and location discussions. The film will begin in Australia and promises another journey for the beloved characters, though specific shooting locations have not yet been announced.
