A new sneak peek of "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" was debuted during the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, which aired live on CBS on Sunday, January 28. The one-minute video is pretty much about Sophie's (Amanda Seyfried) pregnancy, but Cher manages to steal the spotlight with her surprise arrival.
Sophie is seen delivering the good news to her fiance, Sky (Dominic Cooper). She initially wants to keep it a secret, but Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) and Harry (Colin Firth) already spill the beans to almost everyone.
As Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski) also return, they have a big celebration. The party is more complete with the presence of Ruby (Cher), Donna's (Meryl Streep) mother and Sophie's grandmother.
"Let's get the party started," she says upon her arrival. A surprised Sophie tells her she wasn't invited, but she calmly responds, "That's the best kind of party little girl." Ruby is seen singing ABBA's hit "Fernando".
In between those scenes set in present days, there are glimpses of flashback scenes showing Donna heavily pregnant and having the time of her life with her best friends.
Written and directed by Ol Parker, the sequel to 2008's "Mamma Mia!" is set to arrive in the U.S. this coming summer, on July 20, within days of the 10th anniversary of the original's release. Lily James stars as young Donna with Jessica Keenan Wynn as young Tanya and Alexa Davies as young Rosie.
Jeremy Irvine plays Young Sam, Hugh Skinner is cast as Young Harry, and Josh Dylan joins the cast as Young Bill. Andy Garcia and Naoko Mori also land roles in the upcoming musical movie.
Plot details are still scarce, but according to the official description, the film goes back and forth in time to show how relationships forged in the past resonate in the present.
