Tiffany Haddish Confirms Girls Trip 2 Filming Is Imminent — Cameras Roll Sooner Than You Think
Girls Trip 2 is finally shifting into gear: Tiffany Haddish says production is edging forward and the cast is actively discussing the long-awaited sequel after years of fan anticipation.
Looks like Girls Trip 2 might actually be happening. Tiffany Haddish just gave a real update, and for once it sounds less like wishful thinking and more like schedules and calendars are involved.
So, when are they filming?
In her new US Weekly cover story, Haddish says the sequel is moving forward after a recent check-in with the team. She says the plan on the table is to start shooting next year, and then immediately narrows it down to spring 2026, before summer hits. Yes, that sounds a little contradictory at first, but read it as: they had a meeting, they are aiming for spring 2026. Translation: not imminent, but a date-ish target exists.
"We had a meeting last week... [They] were saying we [are] gonna start shooting probably next year," Haddish said, adding that production is eyeing spring 2026, "before summer starts."
She also dropped her signature "She ready," and says she and the other women have been talking and cracking each other up already. Vibes: enthusiastic, not just PR.
What this sequel looks like (so far)
- Timing: Targeting spring 2026 for the shoot, if everything holds.
- The crew: Haddish is expecting to reunite with Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, and Jada Pinkett Smith.
- The backdrop: Producer Will Packer previously said on Watch What Happens Live that the follow-up could take the women to an "exotic locale." No location named yet.
- Casting notes: Packer also teased bringing back the original core and possibly adding some new faces.
- Why people care: The first Girls Trip (2017), directed by Malcolm D. Lee, made around $140 million worldwide and followed four longtime friends on a chaotic New Orleans adventure. It was a genuine crowd-pleaser with actual legs at the box office.
Bottom line
After years of fans asking and a lot of vague teases, this is the most concrete signal yet. There is a meeting, there is a timeline, and there is clear momentum. If they stick the spring 2026 start, we’re looking at a 2027 release window. Until then, expect more chatter about new cast additions and where exactly this trip is headed. The destination tease is fun, but the real news here is that the wheels finally seem to be turning.
