In the Family 2 is coming — here's what we know
In the Family 2 is the confirmed sequel to the 2017 comedy In the Family, produced by BKM and currently slated for a 2026 release. The original built a modest but loyal following on the strength of its family-centered humor, and this follow-up is expected to continue in that vein. Plot details? Still officially TBA. Which — honestly — is either a smart slow-burn marketing play or just a sign that things are still being locked down behind the scenes.
What In the Family 2 is about
The official plot hasn't been announced yet. Given that this is a direct sequel within the In the Family franchise, it's reasonable to expect the film will revisit familiar characters navigating the kind of domestic comedy that made the first installment work. Family dynamics, comedic misunderstandings, and the particular chaos that only relatives can generate — that's the territory the series staked out in 2017, and there's no indication the sequel is veering anywhere else.
Hard to say if there'll be a new wrinkle (a wedding, a reunion, a road trip) or whether the story picks up right where the first left off. We'll have to wait for an official synopsis.
What we know so far
Here's the confirmed information as of now: In the Family 2 is produced by BKM, sits in the comedy genre, and is part of the In the Family Collection — making it a franchise sequel rather than a standalone project. The expected release year is 2026. No director, lead cast, or trailer has been publicly announced at the time of writing.
For context on what the 2026 comedy landscape is shaping up to look like, resources like New Family Movies: February 2026 give a sense of how crowded — and competitive — the space already is. And if you're curious how other family-adjacent sequels are positioning themselves, IMDB's coverage of upcoming titles shows just how much sequel activity is clustered around that same release window.
Why fans are watching this one
What's striking is how durable the appetite for family comedy sequels has proven to be, even when the originals weren't massive theatrical events. The first In the Family didn't need to be a blockbuster to earn a follow-up — it just needed to connect with its audience. That's a different kind of success, and arguably a more sustainable one.
Franchise loyalty is real. People who found the original funny don't need a marketing campaign to tell them they want more of it. They already do.
