Welcome back to Andalasia!

Amy Adamsis set to reprise her role as Princess Giselle for a sequel of the beloved 2007 movieEnchanted.

The sequel, titledDisenchanted, will stream on Disney+, the companyannouncedduring its Investor Day on Thursday.

The film was the Oscar nominee’s first major blockbuster success as a leading lady and paved the way for other roles in films such asDoubtandThe Fighter.

In 2007, Adams, 46, toldEntertainment Weeklyshe loves “playing characters who have big hearts and really believe in something” — attributes she found in Giselle.

“I’ve been in a lot of smaller films that weren’t appropriate to take my niece and nephew to, so I needed a movie to get to bring them to. I come from a musical theater background, and it was so much fun to get to do that,” she said at the time.

Enchantedearned three Oscar nominations in the Best Original Song category — for “Happy Working Song,” “So Close,” and “That’s How You Know,” all from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. Adams earned a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal.

Most recently, Adams starred in Netflix’sHillbilly Elegy, and she recentlyjoined the castof the upcomingDear Evan Hansenadaptation.
