The Family Plan 2 brings Apple TV+’s hit action-comedy back to the screen, once again led by Mark Wahlberg as ex-assassin-turned-exhausted dad Dan Morgan. After becoming one of the streamer’s most-watched original films in 2023, the sequel ramps things up with a holiday twist, new villains, and a European chase that collides Dan’s suburban life with his darker past. Here’s everything confirmed so far.
When Is The Family Plan 2 Released and Where Can You Watch It?
The sequel arrives November 21, 2025 dropping globally at midnight PT / 3 a.m. ET, the standard Apple TV+ rollout.
There’s no theatrical release. Viewers will need an Apple TV+ subscription ($9.99/month) or can watch using the 7-day free trial available to new users.
Apple is clearly treating the movie as a big holiday-season anchor, positioning it for family-action viewing without competing in theaters against major releases like Wicked: For Good.

What Is The Family Plan 2 About? (Spoiler-Free Plot Overview)
Set shortly after the events of the first film, The Family Plan 2 follows the Morgans as they attempt to celebrate a quiet Christmas vacation in Europe. Dan Morgan has fully embraced his life as a husband and dad at least on the surface.
But trouble finds him quickly.
A ghost from his assassin past resurfaces, dragging Dan into a continent-spanning chase that forces him to protect his family without revealing the full truth of what’s coming for him. The tone remains very much in the vibe of the first film: slick comedy, fish-out-of-water family chaos, and bursts of choreographed action that keep Wahlberg in frantic-dad mode.
Early descriptions tease:
-
European cities used as set-piece playgrounds
-
Family members getting unexpectedly involved in Dan’s mission
-
A more personal, vendetta-driven antagonist
-
A push-pull between holiday cheer and high-stakes spy trouble
It’s essentially National Lampoon’s European Vacation meets John Wick — if John Wick had teenagers who complained about Wi-Fi speeds.

Mark Wahlberg as Dan Morgan — What’s Different This Time?
Wahlberg’s Dan Morgan remains the emotional and chaotic core of the movie. He’s still retired, still wants peace, still just wants to be a normal dad — and still has absolutely no control over anything happening around him.
In the sequel:
-
He’s pulled into a revenge-driven conflict, not just self-preservation.
-
His family is more aware, more involved, and less easily fooled.
-
His past life as an assassin gets sharper focus, thanks to the new villain.
-
His “dad energy” is pushed to more comedic extremes amid European misadventures.
Wahlberg has described Dan as “the world’s most tired action hero,” and the sequel leans into that bit even harder.
Kit Harington Joins The Family Plan 2 — Who Is the New Villain?
The biggest casting headline is Kit Harington as the mysterious antagonist.
He plays a figure from Dan’s old life — someone with unfinished business, deeply personal motives, and a grudge that stretches back years.
Expect Harington to tap into:
-
darker charisma
-
icy menace
-
intelligence-over-muscle strategy
-
a “spy thriller” presence rather than brute action
Think: Game of Thrones intensity meets sleek, modern espionage.
His inclusion elevates the sequel’s scale, giving it a stronger emotional and narrative anchor.

What Roles Do Jessica, Nina, and Kyle Play in The Family Plan 2?
Michelle Monaghan — Jessica Morgan
Jessica remains the emotional heart of the Morgan family. With Dan trying desperately to keep his past under wraps, Jessica once again becomes the voice of reason — and possibly the source of new conflict when secrets inevitably surface.
Zoe Colletti — Nina Morgan
Nina returns as the sharp, opinionated teenager who isn’t afraid to question Dan’s decisions. With her boyfriend Omar (Reda Elazouar) in tow, she’s pulled deeper into the European chaos.
Van Crosby — Kyle Morgan
Kyle is still the tech-savvy but reluctant participant in Dan’s spy-adjacent life. Expect him to play a bigger part in the action — sometimes intentionally, sometimes by complete accident.
Together, the family dynamic remains one of the franchise’s biggest strengths: messy, loving, loud, and constantly in over their heads.

What’s New in The Family Plan 2 Compared to the Original?
While the first movie kept the action mostly American and suburban, the sequel changes both the geography and the scope:
1. The European setting
-
Christmas-in-Europe travel comedy
-
High-speed chases through historic streets
-
Cafés, train stations, Christmas markets turned into fight locations
It gives the movie a more expansive, holiday-friendly style.
2. A more personal antagonist
This time it’s not just “bad guys chasing Dan” — it’s someone who knows him intimately and wants revenge.
3. Bigger action, but still PG-13-friendly
Apple TV+ remains committed to broad accessibility. Expect creative but not overly graphic fight scenes, lots of comedic physicality, and a mix of stunts that avoid pushing into hard-R territory.
4. Family involvement increases
The kids get more agency, not just reacting to Dan’s chaos.
