Family Plan Sequel in Development at Apple
The Morgan Family is back in action! Today, Apple Original Films announced a sequel is in the works for its global hit film The Family Plan, with Mark Wahlberg set to produce and reprise his role as Dan Morgan, and Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Colletti, and Van Crosby all returning to star.
Simon Cellan Jones will also return as director of the action-comedy feature from Skydance Media. The Family Plan premiered as the most-watched film on Apple TV+ following its debut last year.
“I am beyond excited to step back into the shoes of Dan Morgan again, alongside my brilliant co-stars and with Simon and David returning,” said producer and star Mark Wahlberg. “Making ‘The Family Plan’ and seeing it become an instant success with global audiences in the way that it did has been incredibly rewarding.”
Wahlberg added: “We can’t wait to collaborate with our partners at Apple and Skydance again on this next chapter for the Morgan family as their European holiday inevitably goes awry.”
“I’m thrilled to be back with the Morgans as they tear through Europe in search of the perfect action-packed family Christmas,” said director Simon Cellan Jones.
David Coggeshall, the writer of the first movie, has returned to pen The Family Plan sequel, which takes place during Christmas in Europe. Dan has planned the perfect vacation for the Morgans, but his past continues to haunt them in unexpected ways.
An Apple Original Film hailing from Skydance Media, the sequel to The Family Plan will be directed by Cellan Jones. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger will produce for Skydance alongside Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson through Municipal Pictures.
John G. Scotti will executive produce the sequel along with Cellan Jones.
The Family Plan sequel joins other upcoming Apple Original Films produced by Skydance Media, including the high-action, genre-bending film The Gorge, starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy; Fountain of Youth, the upcoming star-studded feature from Guy Ritchie, starring Natalie Portman and John Krasinski; and action-adventure film May Day, with Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh set to star in the lead roles.
There’s also Way of the Warrior Kid, the inspiring new film directed by McG and starring and produced by Chris Pratt, and Matchbox, the live-action feature based on Mattel’s iconic toy vehicle line, directed by Sam Hargrave and starring John Cena.
