The question of whether the fake family will reunite for a sequel is one of Hollywood’s longest-running mysteries, and as of late 2025, the answer remains complicated but hopeful. Released in 2013, the R-rated comedy *We're the Millers* became a surprise box office success, grossing over $270 million worldwide and cementing its status as a modern road-trip classic. The film, which centers on a small-time drug dealer, David Clark (Jason Sudeikis), who hires a stripper, Rose O'Reilly (Jennifer Aniston), a runaway, Casey (Emma Roberts), and a naive neighbor, Kenny Rossmore (Will Poulter), to pose as his family for a massive drug smuggling operation, has consistently generated sequel buzz.
Despite the original movie's success, the development of *We're the Millers 2* has been stuck in a perpetual state of "development hell" for over a decade. However, recent comments from the main cast and confirmation of a screenwriter’s involvement offer the freshest updates on the sequel’s status, while the main stars have moved on to some of the biggest projects of their careers in 2024 and 2025.
The Millers Family: Full Cast and Current Projects (2025 Update)
The core of the film’s enduring appeal is the chemistry of its main cast. Here is a complete profile of the main actors, their roles, and their most current career highlights as of 2025, demonstrating their massive topical authority in Hollywood:
- Jennifer Aniston as Rose O'Reilly: The veteran stripper hired to play the wife/mother. Aniston has maintained her status as a global superstar. Her most significant recent project is starring in and producing the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, which has seen her reprise her role as Alex Levy for multiple seasons. She is also involved in upcoming film projects like Hail Mary.
- Jason Sudeikis as David Clark: The drug dealer who orchestrates the fake family RV trip. Sudeikis’s career exploded with the success of the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, which he co-created, starred in, and won multiple Emmy Awards for. In 2024, he also starred in the animated comedy film Hitpig!, voicing the clever bounty-hunting pig.
- Emma Roberts as Casey: The cynical street runaway posing as the daughter. Roberts has continued to showcase her versatility in film and television. Her recent projects include the 2024 film Madame Web and the upcoming 2025 film Space Cadet. She also runs a popular book club, Belletrist, which she has quietly built into a major passion project.
- Will Poulter as Kenneth "Kenny" Rossmore: The awkward, spider-bite-prone neighbor posing as the son. Poulter has transitioned into a highly sought-after dramatic actor. In 2024 and 2025, he has a trifecta of major film roles, including Death of a Unicorn, A24's Warfare, and the historical queer drama On Swift Horses. His high-profile casting in these diverse projects highlights his post-*Millers* success.
- Ed Helms as Brad Gurdlinger: David's ruthless and eccentric boss. Helms is best known for his roles in *The Office* and *The Hangover* trilogy.
- Nick Offerman as Don Fitzgerald: The fellow RV traveler and DEA agent. Offerman continues his prolific career in TV and film, known for shows like *Parks and Recreation* and the critically acclaimed series *The Last of Us*.
The Truth About *We're the Millers 2* and Sequel Development
Despite over a decade passing since the original film, the possibility of a sequel, tentatively titled *We're the Millers 2*, remains a hot topic, fueled by occasional updates from the cast and studio.
Is the Sequel Canceled or Just Delayed?
In 2014, New Line Cinema officially announced that a sequel was in development, with screenwriter Adam Sztykiel hired to pen the script. However, the project stalled, and no official release date has ever been set. As of 2025, the production status is still officially listed as "Development," but concrete updates are scarce.
The main hurdle appears to be the scheduling of the four leads, all of whom have extremely busy calendars. Jason Sudeikis’s commitment to *Ted Lasso* and Jennifer Aniston’s work on *The Morning Show* have made it difficult to align their schedules for a multi-month film shoot.
In a recent update, Will Poulter, who played Kenny Rossmore, commented on the sequel’s status, suggesting that while he and the cast would love to return, the chances are "grim" due to the time elapsed and the difficulty in coordinating the main stars. This candid assessment from a core cast member is the latest, most realistic view of the project's future.
Behind the Scenes: 5 Wild Facts You Missed From the Original Movie
The 2013 comedy, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, is packed with memorable scenes, including the infamous spider bite and the hilarious family sing-along. Here are five deep-cut facts that add to the film’s topical authority and behind-the-scenes mystique:
- The Director's Blockbuster Path: Director Rawson Marshall Thurber leveraged the success of *We're the Millers* to land major blockbuster projects. His subsequent directing credits include the Dwayne Johnson-led action films *Central Intelligence*, *Skyscraper*, and the Netflix smash hit *Red Notice*.
- The Marijuana Paradox: Despite the entire plot revolving around David Clark smuggling a massive shipment of marijuana from Mexico for his boss, Brad Gurdlinger, none of the main "Miller" characters are ever shown consuming the drug on screen.
- Will Poulter’s Musical Preparation: To prepare for the memorable scene where Kenny Rossmore accidentally sings along to TLC's "Waterfalls," actor Will Poulter stayed up late listening to the song repeatedly to capture the specific, slightly off-key energy of the performance.
- The RV's Name: The iconic Winnebago RV used for the cross-country drug mule trip was affectionately nicknamed "The Beast" by the cast and crew during production.
- The Alternate Ending: An alternate ending was filmed that showed the Millers being caught by the DEA and going to jail, only to be bailed out by David’s boss, Brad Gurdlinger, who then forces them to smuggle a shipment of exotic birds. The final, happier ending was chosen to keep the film’s upbeat tone.
While the wait for *We're the Millers 2* continues, the original film’s legacy is secure. The continued success of Jennifer Aniston in *The Morning Show*, Jason Sudeikis’s global acclaim for *Ted Lasso*, and the dramatic career shifts of Emma Roberts and Will Poulter prove that the "fake" Miller family is a very real, and very powerful, force in modern entertainment. Fans can only hope that New Line Cinema and the stars can finally align their schedules to bring the Clark/O'Reilly/Rossmore family back for one last, chaotic RV adventure.
