Lionsgate Sets ‘Fall 2’ for August Theatrical Release
Buried in news about Eli Roth’s latest slasher, Ice Cream Man, was a key reveal: Lionsgate will release its highly anticipated thriller Fall 2 on the same day, August 7, 2026.
As of this writing, Fall 2 will open directly against The Horror Section’s Ice Cream Man when it opens in theaters this August. Also opening the same weekend: the Universal comedy One Night Only and Searchlight’s Super Troopers 3.
Jigsaw and Predestination helmers Michael and Peter Spierig directed the second installment in the breakout franchise that stars Harriet Slater (Tarot), Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”), and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
“Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand. After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.”
Original Fall writer-director Scott Mann co-wrote the script with Jonathan Frank.
The sequel reunites producers Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions (47 Meters Down), Capstone’s Christian Mercuri, David Haring, and Mann via the Flawless banner.
Mann is already locked in to return to the director’s chair for Fall 3.
