Mrs. Doubtfire will have a sequel after 20 years as Robin Williams is prepping to reprise his role as the tough-but-loving Scottish housekeeper.

In the original 1993 film, Robin Williams plays a voice actor who couldn't land a dream role. He wanted to be closer to his three children after being divorced from his wife, who didn't really see him as the father figure or the kind of role model for their kids. So Robin Williams' character commissioned his friends for a bit of makeover (well, a lot of makeover really) to transform him into a nanny after finding out that his ex-wife was looking for a housekeeper.

Mrs. Doubtfire sequel is being developed by Fox 2000, according to Hollywood Reporter. Robin Williams is already on board and he should, considering it's one of his iconic characters which won him a Golden Globe for best comedy/musical.

The film was also a commercial success. With a budget of around $25 million, Mrs. Doubtfire went on to earn $423 million worldwide, with nearly $220 million in the US alone.

The idea of a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel came up as early as 2001 with Bonnie Hunt being tapped to write the screenplay. The script suffered delays and after numerous drafts and several writers, it didn't fully take off.

What proved to be the death knell for the project was that director Chris Columbus and Robin Williams were not really warm to the idea of a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel at that time, Hollywood Reporter  said.

Early this year, David Berenbaum (who also wrote Will Ferrel's"Elf") was tapped to give a fresh take on the planned Mrs. Doubtfire sequel.

Meanwhile, Mara Wilson, who played Robin Williams' kid in the 1993 film, wrote on Twitter about her feelings about the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel.

"I've been in some mediocre movies, but I've never been in a sequel. Sequels generally suck unless they were planned as part of a trilogy or series. I think Doubtfire ended where it needed to end," Mara Wilson wrote.
