How to watch Vacation Friends 2 right now: Release date and time
More beach hijinks await in the buddy comedy sequel
Summer may be coming to an end, but there’s still time for a little more fun in the sun thanks to Hulu's Vacation Friends 2.
Vacation Friends 2 is streaming now on Hulu (U.S.) and Disney Plus (internationally)
John Cena has had quite an eventful season already. After the releases of Fast X, Hidden Strike with the legendary Jackie Chan, the cultural phenomenon known as Barbie, and most recently Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the 16-time world champion might have to change his catchphrase from 'You Can’t See Me' to 'You Can’t Not See Me.'
But now before he makes his triumphant return to WWE ahead of Smackdown on Sept. 1, 2023 and WWE Superstar Spectacle a week later in India, he's starring in the follow-up to filmmaker Clay Tarver’s surprise hit comedy from 2021 alongside fellow returning cast members Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji, and Meredith Hagner.
The first movie was reportedly the streamer’s most-watched original feature film of all time, so it's no surprise that Hulu wants to back to the same resort. Here's how you can watch Vacation Friends online. Scroll down for the trailer and cast list.

Picking up shortly after the events of the first movie, Vacation Friends 2 sees Marcus, Emily, Ron, and Kyla reuniting for another memorable vacation together. This time, the gang is celebrating Ron and Kyla’s new marriage and new baby with an all-expenses paid trip to a Caribbean resort. However, things don’t go exactly as planned when Marcus needs to meet important work clients and Kyla’s previously incarcerated father joins in on the festivities at the worst possible moment.
As you can see from the trailer below, in addition to the hilarious leads reprising their roles from the acclaimed first film, the chaos we’ve come to know and love from this group has returned as well.
