Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep Reunite for a New Prime Video Musical
ABBA-fueled crowd-pleaser Mamma Mia! is set to hit Prime Video, bringing back Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård for a sun-soaked singalong. The 2008 smash that spawned a 2018 sequel is finally heading to streaming.
Clear your calendars way in advance: the original Mamma Mia! is finally coming to Prime Video on November 15, 2025. Yes, 2025. If you needed an excuse to belt ABBA in your living room with zero shame, the universe has provided one.
What is actually hitting Prime Video?
It is the first Mamma Mia! from 2008, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and led by Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep. Streep plays Donna, a single mom running a small hotel and juggling wedding prep for her daughter, while Seyfried is Sophie, the daughter with a secret plan to figure out who her biological father is. The dads-in-question lineup is elite: Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard, among others.

How we got here, and what might be next
The first film was a legit smash with audiences and a mixed bag for critics. The sequel arrived a decade later in July 2018, made less money globally (still a healthy $395 million), and kept the ABBA machine humming.
As for a third movie, Amanda Seyfried recently said at the Toronto International Film Festival that it is being talked about. Her phrasing was very "Hollywood, maybe, but probably," which tracks for a big musical franchise that needs a studio to line up schedules, budgets, and a boatload of rights and talent.
"It is, yes. I think. We all said, 'Yeah, definitely.' It is our way of marketing and getting support. Big movies like that are all about studio timing."
She also gave a little peek at the kind of behind-the-scenes scheduling that decides which big musical gets made first. Back in 2018, she said the studio opted to move forward with Mamma Mia! 2 instead of Wicked because they could only mount one major production at that time, so Mamma Mia! took the slot. Not juicy, exactly, but it does explain why certain projects leapfrog others.
Bottom line: if you have Prime Video, Mamma Mia! lands there on November 15, 2025. And if you are holding out for a third trip to the Greek islands, the cast seems game and the studio clock is ticking. In other words: probable, but patience required.
