The stars of 20th Century Studios’ Vacation Friends reunite for the appropriately titled Vacation Friends 2 which just debuted a full trailer. John Cena (Peacemaker), Meredith Hagner (Search Party), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), and Yvonne Orji (Insecure) reprise their roles as two couples who became friends during a wild vacation in Mexico.

Vacation Friends 2 premieres on August 25, 2023 on Hulu.
The Plot:
Picking up a few months after the end of Vacation Friends, this uproarious sequel finds newly married couple Marcus (Howery) and Emily (Orji) inviting their uninhibited besties Ron (Cena) and Kyla (Hagner), who are also newly married and 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 at the resort 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.
