The Portokalos family is back in the new trailer to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3."

Nia Vardalos, who plays Toula Portokalos in the film franchise, writes, directs and stars in the long-awaited third installment.

This time around, Toula and the rest of her big family travel to Greece to fulfill her father's last wish for her to retrace his roots.

Actor Michael Constantine, who played Toula’s father, Gus, died in 2021.

Toula and her husband, Ian (John Corbett), take along returning cast members Andrea Martin, Gia Carides, Louis Mandylor, Elena Kampouris, Maria Vacratsis, Joey Fatone and Lainie Kazan on the trip, which will culminate with a big fat Greek family reunion.

Once again, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson produced the movie, spun from Vardalos' hit one-woman play.

The 2002 original became a box office sensation, earning $368 million worldwide. Vardalos received an Oscar nomination for best screenplay and a Golden Globe nomination for best actress for the film.
