Spinal Tap II, the long-awaited and long-teased sequel to Rob Reiner’s classic 1984 movie This Is Spinal Tap, finally has a new release date. The film—originally set for a March 2024 release but delayed due to the Hollywood strikes of 2023—will get released on Friday, September 12, 2025, according to Deadline.

Bleecker Street is handling U.S. distribution for Spinal Tap II.
