April 27, 2021

Sony Pictures has released the final trailer for their upcoming live-action comedy sequel Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on Friday, June 18. The video features some new footage of the mischievous titular bunny as he strays far from home and embarks on a new adventure.

Originally scheduled for a 2020 release, the James Corden-led feature has been pushed back a number of times now due to the ongoing pandemic. Its current June 18 release date puts the long-delayed film on the same week as the theatrical debut of Lionsgate’s star-studded action-comedy sequel Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.

Based on the characters and tales of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, the sequel continues to follow the titular lovable rogue rabbit. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be.
