The sequel, now titled Hollywood Stargirl will begin production this May in Orange County, California, and will shoot through the Summer. Director Julia Hart will return to direct with star Grace VanderWaal, who will this time be joined by Elijah Richardson and Judy Greer (Ant-Man and the Wasp) will be playing a character named Ana, who is likely to be Stargirl’s mother. as well as composer-musician Michael Penn, will write and perform new original music for the film. Disney’s live-action film division will once again oversee the project. The first film is based on the critically-acclaimed, New York Times’ best-selling young adult novel about an unassuming high schooler who finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl, whose unconventional ways change how they see themselves…and their world. VanderWaal, who will reprise her role as Stargirl, will write and perform original music for this outing with Richard playing the romantic lead. Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lee Stollman of Gotham Group return as producers while Horowitz will produce for Hart & Horowitz’s company Original Headquarters. Hahn and Spinelli are executive producers. Penn will also act as the new project’s executive music producer.

Legendary Kill Bill and Batman & Robin actress Uma Thurman has been added the cast of the newly-announced Stargirl sequel. Now, we need to point out that we're not on about the DC teen superhero show Stargirl, although that would have been good, with Thurman starring in My Super Ex-Girlfriend. We're on about the teen musical-themed film that launched exclusively on Disney+, starring Grace VanderWaal and Graham Verchere. We at Digital Spy didn't *love* the film, calling it "a pastiche of quirk, which stands in for depth, stitched together by musical numbers that feel overdone the first time, and beaten to death the second". But you know, that leaves a lot of room for improvement in the sequel, especially if they listen specifically to our review. The Hollywood Reporter, who broke the news of the casting, states that Thurman will play Roxanne Martel, a musician who Stargirl looks up to and eventually bumps into as she starts making waves in the world of music. The sequel will also see actor Elijah Richardson and composer/musician Michael Penn join, providing acting and original songs, respectively.
