5 Shocking Reasons Why 'Meet The Millers 2' (We're The Millers Sequel) Will Never Happen—Despite The 2025 Rumors

The question of whether *Meet the Millers 2* will ever see the light of day has been one of Hollywood’s longest-running mysteries, especially with a decade passing since the original smash-hit comedy. Despite persistent rumors, fan trailers, and even speculative '2025 release date' chatter circulating online, the actual, up-to-date information from the cast and studio paints a far grimmer picture of the sequel's status. As of , the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2013 R-rated comedy *We're the Millers* is essentially dead on arrival (DOA), according to recent statements from its biggest stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Will Poulter.

The original film was a surprise box office titan, which immediately sparked talks of a continuation, yet the project has been stuck in development hell for years. While the fake Miller family—David Clark, Sarah Miller, Casey Mathis, and Kenny Rossmore—remains iconic, the chances of seeing their next outrageous scheme are slim to none. This is the definitive breakdown of why the sequel, often searched as *Meet the Millers 2* or *We’re the Millers 2*, has stalled.

The Fake Miller Family: A Cast Biography Snapshot

The success of *We’re the Millers* was built on the undeniable chemistry of its four core leads, who have all gone on to massive careers since the film's 2013 release. Their collective star power is both the reason for the sequel's demand and, ironically, one of the biggest hurdles to its production.

5 Reasons Why 'We're the Millers 2' is Not Happening

While the original film, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, grossed an impressive $270 million worldwide against a modest $37 million budget, making a sequel a financial no-brainer for New Line Cinema, the stars' recent comments and the passage of time have effectively sealed the project's fate.

1. Jennifer Aniston's 'DOA' Confirmation

The most definitive and recent news comes from Jennifer Aniston herself. In a 2024 interview, when asked about which sequels she would consider, Aniston essentially confirmed that *We're the Millers 2* was "DOA," or "Dead on Arrival." Her statement, along with the fact that she has been asked about the follow-up numerous times over the years, suggests a clear lack of momentum and a general consensus among the main players that the moment has passed.

2. The 'Too Old Now' Factor and Will Poulter's Grim Update

One of the most charming elements of the first film was the dynamic between the four mismatched leads, particularly the innocence of Will Poulter's character, Kenny. Poulter, who was 20 when the first film was released, recently gave a "grim" update on the sequel's status. He joked that he is "too old now" to play the naive young Kenny, highlighting the major issue of a decade-long gap. The original script for *We're the Millers 2* would have had to account for the characters aging significantly, changing the fundamental dynamic of the fake family that audiences loved.

3. The Cast's Exploded Star Power and Scheduling Nightmare

In 2013, Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston were major stars, but Will Poulter and Emma Roberts were still rising. Today, all four are world-renowned A-listers with packed schedules. Jason Sudeikis is wrapped up in the global phenomenon of *Ted Lasso*. Will Poulter is a key player in the MCU. Jennifer Aniston is the star and producer of a major streaming drama. Coordinating the schedules of four actors of this caliber, along with director Rawson Marshall Thurber (who has since directed major hits like *Skyscraper* and *Red Notice*), for a several-month-long production is nearly impossible. This scheduling conflict is a common reason why highly anticipated sequels to ensemble comedies often fail to materialize.

4. The Sequel Has Been Stalled in 'Development' Since 2014

The sequel was officially confirmed to be in development by New Line Cinema in 2014, shortly after the original film's success. The studio even hired Adam Sztykiel (who wrote *Rampage* and *Black Adam*) to pen the script. However, the project has remained in the "Development" status for over ten years, with no further official production updates. This long period of inactivity, despite the initial enthusiasm, is a strong indicator that the script or the logistics never came together in a way the studio or the talent found compelling enough to move forward.

5. The Rumored Plot and Title Never Gained Traction

While no official plot details were ever released, Will Poulter mentioned a potential title, *We're Still the Millers?*, during an interview. This title suggests a scenario where the fake family is forced to reunite for another outrageous, possibly drug-related, scheme. However, without a compelling, fresh story that justifies the reunion after so many years—and with the cast having moved on to more prestigious projects—the rumored concept likely lacked the necessary punch to overcome the logistical and financial hurdles of a major studio sequel.

The Truth Behind the 'Summer 2025 Release' Rumors

The persistent search volume for "Meet the Millers 2" and the belief in a 2025 release are primarily fueled by fan-made content. Several highly-viewed YouTube videos and speculative articles, often using the title *We Are the Millers 2*, have circulated 'teaser' trailers and fake release dates, such as "Summer 2025." These are not official studio announcements. They are creative works designed to generate views based on the high demand for the sequel.

It is crucial for fans of the original comedy to understand the distinction: while the desire for a sequel is clearly there, the official updates from the cast in 2024 and the decade-long delay in production confirm that the project is, for all intents and purposes, cancelled. The fake Miller family may live on in our memories, but a new chapter is highly improbable.
