Lainie Kazan returns as Toula's mother, alongside Andrea Martin as her aunt and Elena Kampouris as her daughter Paris, who was introduced in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2." Notably, even former NSYNC member Joey Fatone joins the ensemble as Toula's cousin Angelo.
While the core cast reunites, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" also introduces new faces representing an extended family residing in Greece. A peculiar character, vaguely connected as a "cousin," adds an intriguing dynamic to the narrative.
