Filming has officially begun for "The Families Stone," a sequel to the 2005 movie "The Family Stone." Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel McAdams, and Dermot Mulroney were spotted on set in New York on October 20, 2026, reprising their characters.
The original film, which premiered over two decades ago, centered on Meredith Morton's (Parker) challenging holiday with her boyfriend Everett Stone's (Mulroney) large and opinionated family. The ensemble cast also included Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, and Luke Wilson.
The sequel is set to reunite the entire original cast. It will take place 20 years after the death of the family matriarch, Sybil Stone, portrayed by Diane Keaton, who passed away in October 2025 at age 79.
According to the synopsis, the Stone family will gather for Christmas again. This time, the father, played by Craig T. Nelson, has invited a new woman he has fallen in love with to meet them. Thomas Bezucha, the director of the original film, is returning for the sequel.
Bezucha expressed the emotional impact of continuing the story without Keaton, stating it was a "blow on a tender bruise already." The Families Stone does not yet have an official release date.
