Its writer and lead actress, Nia Vardalos, then spun the film off into a television series, My Big Fat Greek Life, which lasted for a single season on CBS and then into a direct sequel, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, in 2016.
There may not be a less likely franchise in the history of movies than My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
April marked the 20th anniversary of the release of the original My Big Fat Greek Wedding, so the timing works out for another movie, if only for the potential nostalgia factor.
(The first Big Fat Greek Wedding was directed by Joel Zwick; the sequel was by Kirk Jones.)
