A sequel to the 2005 holiday comedy-drama “The Family Stone” is officially moving forward as “The Families Stone.” The new film is set about 20 years after the events of the original, according to reports. Searchlight is associated with the project, and it continues the story well beyond the timeframe of the first movie.
Multiple outlets report that the film’s title is “The Families Stone(s),” with the official branding now set. Variety and The Hollywood Reporter say it will be directed and written again by Tom Bezucha, who returns as writer and director. The cast includes several actors from the original ensemble, with Rachel McAdams returning as Amy Stone and Sarah Jessica Parker returning as Meredith.
Both outlets also note additional returning cast members, including Luke Wilson, as part of the sequel’s lineup. While the coverage focuses on the official title and which original characters return, details such as the full supporting cast and production timeline are not fully outlined in the provided summaries, and outlets emphasize different parts of the announcement.
