“There’s only one thing left to do: surf.” 🏄 20th Century Studios + Hulu have unveiled an official trailer for Vacation Friends 2, another surprise didn’t-even-know-they-were-making-this sequel to enjoy at the end of the summer. The original Vacation Friends comedy premiered on Hulu exactly two years previous to this sequel’s opening in August. The two couples reconnect on another vacation trip to a tropical resort hotel, however, their plans for relaxation are thrown into disarray when Kyla’s incarcerated father is released from San Quentin and shows up at the resort unannounced. Buscemi plays the prison papa who brings even more mayhem. “Look who’s back!” The film reunites Vacation Friends writer-director Clay Tarver and stars John Cena, Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji, & Meredith Hagner, joined by Carlos Santos, Ronny Chieng, Jamie Hector, and Steve Buscemi. This doesn’t my kind of humor, but it should make some folks laugh.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Clay Tarver’s Vacation Friends 2, direct from YouTube:
Picking up a few months after the end of Vacation Friends, this uproarious sequel finds newly married couple Marcus (Howery) & Emily (Orji) inviting their uninhibited besties Ron (Cena) & Kyla (Hagner), who are also newly married and now have a baby, to join them for a vacation when Marcus lands an all-expenses-paid trip to a Caribbean resort. His reason for traveling there in the first place is to meet with the owners of the resort to bid on a construction contract for a hotel they own in Chicago. But when Kyla’s incarcerated father Reese (Buscemi) is released from San Quentin and shows up unannounced at the worst possible moment, things get out of control, upending Marcus’ best laid plans and turning the vacation friends’ perfect trip into total chaos. Vacation Friends 2 is once again directed by filmmaker Clay Tarver, his second feature after the first Vacation Friends, plus a writer / producer on “Silicon Valley” and writer of Joy Ride (2001). The screenplay is written by John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein, Tim & Tom Mullen, as well as Clay Tarver. It’s produced by Stuart M. Besser and Todd Garner. 20th Century Studios will debut Vacation Friends 2 streaming on Hulu starting on August 25th, 2023 at the end of this summer. Anyone?
