2021 buddy comedy Vacation Friends may have a 57% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film was still Hulu’s biggest release the weekend it came out that year until sci-fi movie Prey made its debut, according to Deadline. That’s why the fact that a Vacation Friends 2 is happening, doesn’t come as a surprise!

Clay Tarver returns to direct once more, with Todd Garner and Stuart Besser serving as producers. Here’s all we know about the sequel ahead of its release!

Will there be a Vacation Friends 2?

Yes, there will be a Vacation Friends 2! We’ve known for a while since the first film came out in August 2021 that a sequel was happening. And now we have some more details on when to expect it.

Vacation Friends 2 release date (Where to watch Vacation Friends)

Vacation Friends 2 will be released Friday, Aug. 24, 2023. Depending on where you live, you’ll find it on a different streamer. The production will be streaming on Hulu in the U.S., on Star+ in Latin America, and on Disney+ in all other territories. If you need a rewatch to refresh your memory, the original movie, Vacation Friends, is currently streaming on Hulu.

Vacation Friends 2 synopsis (What is Vacation Friends 2 about?)

The first time around, we, and Marcus and Emily, were in for a hilarious ride with many shenanigans thanks to Ron and Kyla. And now, the two couples are back to bring us more laughs and find themselves in some crazy situations!

Per the synopsis, the second movie picks up a few months after the events of the first film. Marcus and Emily land themselves an all-expenses-paid vacation to a Caribbean resort, where he wants to bid on a construction contract for a hotel. So who do they decide to invite? Their “uninhibited besties” of course! Also newly married Ron and Kyla tag along with their baby. But an unexpected visitor also shows up – Kyla’s father, Reese, who’s been recently released from prison. When he shows up at the resort where the friends are vacationing without telling anyone, things get out of hand and turn the “perfect trip into total chaos.”
