Mark Wahlberg is back in action — and this time, family life is about to get even messier. The Family Plan 2, the much-anticipated Apple TV+ sequel to the breakout hit The Family Plan, picks up where the first adventure left off, delivering even more humor, heart, and high-octane thrills.
After the success of the original film, Wahlberg returns as Dan, the seemingly ordinary father whose secret life as a former assassin sent his family on the run. The new trailer for The Family Plan 2 teases a fresh round of chaos as Dan’s past once again catches up with him, threatening to unravel his picture-perfect holiday plans.
A Holiday Vacation Gone Wrong
In the sequel, Dan plans an idyllic holiday getaway abroad with his wife Jessica (Michelle Monaghan) and their kids. But just as the family starts to unwind, a mysterious figure from Dan’s past — played by Game of Thrones star Kit Harington — resurfaces with unresolved business. What begins as a relaxing European vacation quickly spirals into an explosive chase across multiple countries, blending fast-paced action with comedic family mishaps.
From high-speed car pursuits to globe-spanning cat-and-mouse showdowns, the trailer promises plenty of adrenaline-fueled sequences. True to its name, The Family Plan 2 balances spy-level intensity with heartfelt moments that explore the challenges — and absurdities — of parenthood under pressure.
Returning Talent and New Faces
Directed by Simon Cellan Jones and written by David Coggeshall, the film builds on the formula that made the first installment a streaming success. Expect witty one-liners, slick action choreography, and Wahlberg’s signature mix of charm and toughness. The cast also includes Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Peter Lindsey, Theodore Lindsey, and Reda Elazouar, all joining the returning duo of Wahlberg and Monaghan.
Behind the scenes, The Family Plan 2 is produced by David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger for Skydance Media, with Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson representing Municipal Pictures. John G. Scotti also serves as producer, while director Cellan Jones and screenwriter Coggeshall take on executive producer duties.
Apple TV+ Expands Its Action-Comedy Lineup
Apple TV+ continues to strengthen its library of star-driven originals with The Family Plan 2. Following the streaming success of both The Family Plan and Arthur the King, Wahlberg’s partnership with Apple seems stronger than ever. The trailer makes it clear that this sequel aims to scale up everything — the laughs, the emotional beats, and the action set pieces — while keeping the family dynamic front and center.
A Promise of Bigger Action and Heart
If the first film combined parental chaos with explosive action, The Family Plan 2 doubles down on both. The sequel takes the themes of family, responsibility, and second chances, and wraps them in a whirlwind of international intrigue and comedic moments.
With Wahlberg’s signature charisma leading the way, and a blend of sleek direction and sharp writing, The Family Plan 2 looks ready to deliver another round of irresistible entertainment.
Release Date: The Family Plan 2 premieres globally on Apple TV+ on November 21, 2025.
