The story for the film has been written by Paul King, Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton. The screenplay will be penned by Mark Burton, Jon Foster and James Lamont.[2]
Paul King has confirmed that a script is 'well-developed and coming on nicely',[3] and that he is co-writing and executive producing the film, although he has stepped down as director. This will be the first Paddington film not directed by King.
In July 2021, it was announced that shooting for the film would begin in spring 2022.[2] It is assumed that this was halted due to COVID.
On 13 June 2022, it was announced that Paddington 3 had found a director and an official title.[4] Dougal Wilson has been named as the director in his feature film debut for the newly named "Paddington in Peru". Filming is set to begin in London, Peru and Colombia on 24 July 2023 while casting are in talks and Emily Mortimer's character to replace Mary Brown.[5]

Reviews[]

There are critics by
- Of the latest film, Peter Bradshaw wrote in the Guardian that the experience was "just as jolly as the previous two films, but not really as funny" and likened it to a "special episode of a TV sitcom that takes the cast to the Costa del Sol".
- In the Hollywood Reporter, Leslie Felperin wrote that while the film "lacks the absurdist wit and decidedly dark edge that elevated the first two Paddington movies", it was "serviceable enough given its limitations".
- Nick Curtis was more cutting with his two star review in the Standard
Trivia[]
- This is the first Paddington movie not to feature Sally Hawkins reprising as Mrs. Brown, as she's officially replaced by Emily Mortimer, and possibly again in other future Paddington films.
