Apple TV+ has ordered a sequel to The Family Plan.

The action comedy, starring Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan, follows Dan Morgan, a devoted husband, father of three and successful car salesman. But that’s only half the story. Decades earlier, he was an elite government assassin tasked with eliminating the world’s deadliest threats. When enemies from his past track him down, Dan packs his unsuspecting wife, angsty teen daughter, pro-gamer teen son and adorable 10-month-old baby into their minivan and takes off on an impromptu cross-country road trip to Las Vegas. Determined to protect his family — while treating them to the vacation of a lifetime — Dan must put his long-dormant skills into action, without revealing his true identity.

The film, directed by Simon Cellan Jones, premiered on Apple TV+ last December.

“A charming cast and smart script make this familiar ensemble action-comedy an enjoyable ride,” we wrote in our review.

Now Apple has announced that the Morgan family is officially getting back together, 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.

“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 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. 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 Jones.

David Coggeshall, the writer of the first movie, will pen the sequel, which will take place during Christmas in Europe. Dan has planned the perfect vacation for the Morgans, but his past continues to haunt them in unexpected ways.
