The Family Stone Sequel: Luke Wilson Confirms Return

Over 20 years after its release, Luke Wilson expressed surprise at the continued popularity of "The Family Stone," a film that has become a holiday tradition for many families. The 2005 holiday comedy, which starred a notable ensemble cast, is now set for a sequel.

Writer and director Thomas Bezucha is actively developing the follow-up, aiming to capture the spirit of the original. Wilson, who recently became a father, shared his excitement about reading the script, describing it as "really funny." He emphasized the cast's eagerness to reunite and noted the sequel's potential for added emotional depth following the passing of Diane Keaton, who played the matriarch Sybil Stone.

Dermot Mulroney, who also starred in the original, indicated in May 2026 that the sequel might be titled "The Families Stone" and confirmed that the entire original cast is reportedly willing to return for the project.
