Spinal Tap II Sequel Set for September 2025 Release

The long-awaited sequel to the 1984 cult classic mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, titled Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, is set to be released in the United States on September 12, 2025. Directed by Rob Reiner, who co-wrote and co-produced the film alongside the original cast—Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer—the movie follows the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap as they reunite after a 15-year hiatus for one final career-spanning concert. The plot focuses on the band's struggles with their legacy, internal relationships, and the challenges of reconnecting, all documented by the returning filmmaker character Marty DiBergi. The film features notable cameos from music legends including Elton John and Paul McCartney, and will be shown in IMAX theaters worldwide. Despite the decades between the original and sequel, the film maintains the satirical and humorous tone that made the original a classic in lampooning the music industry and rock culture.
