We're finally getting a 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' sequel — with the original cast
Director Stephan Elliott confirmed to The Guardian that the film is currently in the works, with the original cast all slated to return, including stars Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce, and Hugo Weaving. Elliott did not reveal plot details about the sequel, only that the plot would take place partially in Australia as well as overseas.
The director said that for many years, he did not want to make a sequel to the film. Elliott was ultimately swayed by the attacks on LGBTQ+ rights in the past several years, realizing, “I had something that needed to be said.”
“People have been screaming for me to do this for 30 years. And suddenly I had the realization that we’re all getting old. We’re losing people,” he told the outlet. “And with Trump coming in now – it’s all about to erupt again. Somebody said to me, ‘Is this the right time to make this film?’ I said, ‘It is the perfect time to make this film.’"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
