On American Girl's new podcast, the president of American Girl, Jamie Cygielman, was interviewed. In addition to talking about the American Girl memes, Jamie revealed some big news for American Girl in 2022 and all the way into 2023:
Brit Bennett is writing the Claudie books and was inspired so much by Addy to write stories that she quickly agreed to write the Claudie books: a dream come true for her!
Claudie should be releasing "very soon"!
American Girl will be having a collaboration with another brand releasing in 2022.
American Girl is releasing another holiday collector doll in the fall of 2022 with Swarovski Crystals.
Truly Me is gaining a new "customizable feature" this fall for the main Truly Me dolls- not the Create Your Owns.
Corinne's movie is being made for a December 2022 release, and another HBO Max special is in production for a release in 2023.
Jamie got to watch the first cut of the Corinne movie and had nothing but kind words to say about it- she described it as "a lot of fun", "sweet" and "funny".
So much will be happening for American Girl in 2023- including a celebration for the 25th anniversary of The Care and Keeping of You book!
I am so excited for all of these new things for American Girl!
I have a theory that the customizable Truly Me thing will make it possible for you to have different outfit options that come with you Truly Me doll so you don't have a ton of the same outfits! I can't wait for Claudie!!! I'm really hoping she'll have hair like Evette, but brown of course and a bit easier to handle. 🤞 Eeeeeek!
I think the collab is with Kidcraft because a little while ago AG accidentally posted AG X Kidcraft stuff on their website. This is all so exciting!!
Looking forward to reading the Claudie books. Wondering what company American Girl will be collaborating with in the future?
Marilyn and Marion
What do you suppose she meant by "soon"? Adults have a different idea of time. I am an adult and I counted. Claudie is supposed to come in three weeks. That is a month. I do not think that is soon. 😀 And then for those of us whose stores have closed, she has to be shipped. 😁 Not SOON.
I hope the 2023 movie will be a Kavika movie if she is Girl of the Year, and right now, it looks like she will be! If so, it will be the first American Girl movie with a South Asian main character as well as the first South Asian main character in general! The closest we had was Sonali back in 2009. Speaking of girls named Sonali, my main character Sonali's book is close to being completed! It's set in 1893 India and my Sonali is 7 years old! I seem to be making a trend of having some of my latest main characters share first names with American Girl dolls! It may be because AG selects awesome doll names!…
