Production Starts on I Can Only Imagine 2

Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company are set to begin production on 'I Can Only Imagine 2,' the sequel to the successful 2018 film about MercyMe frontman Bart Millard, which grossed over $83 million. The sequel will continue Millard's inspiring journey, with John Michael Finley reprising his role, alongside returning cast members Dennis Quaid and Trace Adkins, and new addition Milo Ventimiglia portraying singer-songwriter Tim Timmons. Directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle, the film aims to resonate with both fans of the original and new audiences. Producers expressed excitement about exploring the rest of Millard's story, which has been described as emotionally rich and uplifting. The success of the first film led to the establishment of Kingdom Story Company, dedicated to creating faith-based narratives. Lionsgate remains optimistic about this partnership, especially in light of recent successes in faith-driven films.
