Tomorrow, she finally gets hers: a royal wedding to her very own Prince Alexander. But at the rehearsal dinner, a scheming nobleman invokes an ancient law that forbids any royal from marrying a commoner, and their fairytale grinds to a halt.

With that, the palace springs into action: Alexander and Winston appeal to the nobility, the Queen and Ridley rally the kingdom’s lawyers, and Olivia and Katie scour Torovia’s past for an answer no one else can see.

With time running out and tradition closing in, one question hangs over the kingdom… can true love rewrite the law?

A Royal Wedding: A Royal In Paradise III will be released in Aussie cinemas October 8!

Palace is delighted to announce the following highlights, with the full line up to be revealed in late August.

The 2026 Festival Special Presentation is bittersweet romantic drama THREE GOODBYES (Tre ciotole), based on the bestselling novel by Michela Murgia. When a couple (played by acclaimed actors Alba Rohrwacher and Elio Germano) split up after what seems like a trivial argument, their lives dramatically change in this emotional, ultimately life-affirming tale from director Isabel Coixet.

Directed by and starring Rocco Papaleo, THE GREATER GOOD (Il bene comune) is both a story of resilience and a heartfelt love letter to the southern Italian region of Basilicata. The story follows a hiking group whose search for an ancient pine tree in Pollino National Park becomes a transformative journey for each of them.

THE EYES OF OTHERS (Gli occhi degli altri) starring Jasmine Trinca and Filippo Timi, takes its inspiration from sensational real events amongst the elite in 1960s Italy. Set on the scenic Pontine Islands archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea, this provocative thriller is an intense tale of passion and crime amidst the wild beauty of an island owned by an immensely wealthy marquis.

The comedy TWIN STARS (Stella gemella) portrays a couple facing a relationship crisis who suddenly learn they are expecting twins. But not a regular set of twins, an extremely rare case in which each twin has a different father!

Featuring stellar supporting performances from Margherita Buy and Laura Morante, this delightful new comedy from Luca Lucini is a story of family, modern love and self-discovery.

Intergenerational dramatic comedy CLASSMATES (Domani interrogo), based on Gaja Cenciarelli’s novel, stars Anna Ferzetti as a devoted English teacher assigned to the toughest class in a Rome high school. The film highlights the power of education, and the essential nature of respect and community in today’s classrooms.

INCANTO is a fantasy family adventure about the importance of imagination and kindness, as a young girl escapes her controlling guardian and discovers a magical circus, where she begins to find her voice.

The full programme will be announced and tickets go on sale late August. Register for updates via the festival website to be the first to know when tickets are released.

The next chapter in the Insidious saga opens the door to a terrifying new nightmare. INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER follows Gemma (Amelia Eve), a young mother raising her daughter in the house where she grew up, who discovers she possesses a rare connection to The Further, the shadowy realm of lost souls that lies beyond the living world.

When a malevolent force begins stalking her family, Gemma learns that her gift comes with a terrifying consequence: she can not only enter The Further, but bring what lives there back with her. As dark entities spill into reality and the boundary between worlds begins to break down, she must confront a growing evil before it turns the living world into its playground.

Marking the return of franchise favourite Lin Shaye, INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER expands the mythology of the series with a chilling new story of possession, family and the horrors that wait beyond the veil.
