Jennifer Saunders will spoof 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' for Comic Relief.
Jennifer Saunders
The 60-year-old actress and comedian previously made a parody of the first ABBA musical film 'Mamma Mia!' alongside her comedy partner Dawn French for the BBC charity drive 10 years ago, and following the release of the movie's sequel last year, she's set to make part two.
The sketch has been titled 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Yet Again!', and Jennifer has pulled together a whole host of famous faces to take on the one-off special, which is set to air on BBC One on March 15.
Jennifer herself will be playing Donna, the character played by Meryl Streep in the movies, whilst Alan Carr takes on Colin Firth's Harry, and Philip Glenister plays Pierce Brosnan's Sam.
The spoof will see the cast recreate some of the most iconic moments from the film, and they'll even try to tackle some tracks from Swedish band ABBA, whose songs form the base of the musical.
Jennifer told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "If I could have lived on the fake Mamma Mia set for the past year, I would have been very happy. This is one of the silliest things I've done. But, my God, I enjoy it."
Although Jennifer worked with her 'French and Saunders' co-star Dawn French in the original sketch, she won't be returning for the sequel due to her busy work schedule.
However, it is believed Miranda Hart and Sue Perkins will be returning as the producer and director.
As of the time of writing, no other names have been attached to the parody sequel, and it's unknown how long the sketch will be.
The Comic Relief charity drive takes place on March 15, where money is raised for the Comic Relief charity, which supports vulnerable people in the UK and internationally.
