Bob Odenkirk’s John Wick-style crime comedy Nobody 2 is reportedly coming soon to digital streaming.
Rated R, Nobody 2 is the sequel to the hit 2021 crime comedy Nobody. The film opened in theaters on Aug. 15. The summary for Nobody 2 reads, “Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his ‘job,’ Hutch and his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville, eager for some fun in the sun. But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz) and his shady sheriff (Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, bloodthirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Sharon Stone).”
Directed by Timo Tjahjanto and written by Derek Kolstad (John Wick creator) and Aaron Rabin, Nobody 2 is expected to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, Sept. 2, according to When to Stream.
While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that Nobody 2’s studio, Universal Pictures, has not announced or confirmed the digital release date and it is subject to change.
When Nobody 2 arrives on PVOD, it will be available on such digital platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube. Prime Video has Nobody 2 listed for pre-order for $24.99, which is the film’s purchase price. Since PVOD rentals typically are $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent Nobody 2 on digital for $19.99 for a 48-hour period.
