Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang, which takes place 100 years after the events of the first movie, will follow Thompson's spell-weaving governess as she looks after city and country children who are evacuated during World War II.
Thompson has penned the script for the movie based on Christianna Brand's literary creation. The actress revealed last year that she turned down the chance to star in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows to work on another Nanny McPhee.
The movie begins production next month at Shepperton Studios.
