The movie was filmed mainly in Croatia instead of Greece, even though it still represents the fictional Greek island of Kalokairi. Lily James received huge praise from fans because many viewers felt she perfectly captured Meryl Streep’s younger personality and energy. Cher joined the cast very late in production, but her performance of “Fernando” quickly became one of the film’s most memorable moments. Surprisingly, the sequel received much better reviews from critics than the first movie and became one of the rare musical sequels to improve its Rotten Tomatoes score significantly.
Another hidden detail is that ABBA legends Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus once again appeared in cameo roles during the movie. The film also mixes prequel and sequel storytelling together, showing Donna’s past while continuing Sophie’s emotional journey in the present day.
