There’s some brilliant news for fans of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

It’s been 12 years since the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants first hit cinemas.

America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel, Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn starred in the dramedy, which follows four best friends who are spending the summer apart for the first time ever – but remain connected through a really, really great pair of jeans which they decide to share.

In the following years, there was a sequel – and fans have been holding out hope of a third instalment to the franchise ever since.

And now Alexis Bledel has hinted that the second sequel to the film could be one step closer to reality.

During an appearance on Thursday night’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 36-year-old said that she and her co-stars had recently “pitched” the third film.

While the cast remain close, Alexis said they don’t get to see each other as often as they want because “everybody has work and family and everything, but when everybody’s in town we do.”

She added:

“We just pitched a third movie, and I hope it comes together. It would be so great.”

Amber Tamblyn confirmed the news the following morning on Twitter, where she asked fans to keep their fingers crossed.

She said:

“I realize what I’m about to say regarding the third installment of the Sisterhood franchise is not enough to break the internet, but certainly could crack it…

“Sorry for that delay, my daughter needed me. Where was I? Oh yes. Alexis is right.

“We’ve been pitching and there is a script. A good one. It’s up to a studio now to make the film.

“So far, no luck. So keep your fingers crossed, or, knock down their doors with jeans emojis.”
