Check out the Spinal Tap II teaser trailer below:
The sequel was announced in May 2022 and was initially eying a March 19, 2024, release. However, it was delayed because of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and Writers Guild of America (WGA) strikes.
According to early reports, the plot of the movie “sees Spinal Tap, England’s loudest and most punctual band, reunite following a 15-year hiatus for one final concert.” Reiner, Michele Reiner, and Matthew George are producing Spinal Tap 2, while Christopher H. Warner and Derrick Rossi serve as executive producers.
This Is Spinal Tap launched to nearly universal acclaim but didn’t make too much money at the box office. However, its home video release saw an even larger audience flock to it and it quickly gained a large cult following, eventually being selected for preservation by the National Film Registry in 2002 after it was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress.
