Patrick Dempsey will be reprising another one of his most popular roles!

The actor confirmed on Good Morning America that he will be starring alongside Amy Adams in a sequel, titled Disenchanted, to the beloved 2007 Disney film, Enchanted. 

Fans will recall that Dempsey played the role of Robert Philip, a New York City divorce lawyer that Adams’ character, Giselle, unexpectedly falls in love with.

During his interview on Thursday, Demspey held up the script for the sequel to the film. “I just got this script for the second movie, and then I’m starting to go through and get notes together,” he said. “There’s talk that we’ll be shooting that in the spring, which is exciting.”

Dempsey continued to gush about his costar, Amy Adams, and her role as Giselle. “Amy Adams is so amazing in that film,” he said. “It was a fun project to be a part of.”

Dempsey also spoke on Good Morning America about his recent surprise return to Grey’s Anatomy as Dr. Derek Shepherd. “It was very healing for all of us and very inspiring,” he said of his return. “It really felt great to see everybody, to work together again and do it in this way was really unusual and unexpected.”

“And the fact that we pulled it off and no one knew that that was going to happen was really quite exciting, especially,” he added.

A date for the premiere of Disenchanted has yet to be announced, but the sequel film will stream exclusively on Disney+.
