Greenland 2: Migration Seeks $90M Escape from Cometary Doom in 2026

The sequel to the 2020 cosmic disaster film Greenland promises a $90 million budget and a perilous journey across a cometary-ravaged Earth. Scheduled for a January 9, 2026 theatrical release, Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family as they exit their apocalypse bunker to travel to France’s Clarke crater site, a rumored safe zone.

Director Ric Roman Waugh returns alongside original screenwriter Chris Sparling and new co-writer Mitchell LaFortune.

The film retains core cast members Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, and Roman Griffin Davis, while adding Amber Rose Revah and Sophie Thompson to the ensemble.

Lionsgate and STX Films produced the project with Basil Iwanyk (John Wick) and Sebastien Raybaud serving as producers. The narrative arc centers on the family’s survival mission amid escalating planetary threats, though specific scientific mechanisms of the comet’s impact remain unelaborated in official statements.

Returning to the infrastructure of the first film’s apocalyptic scenario, the production team has not disclosed technical details about the Clarke crater’s viability as a safe zone.

The film’s budget allocation emphasizes large-scale disaster sequences and character-driven tension, consistent with the genre’s conventions. No institutional scientific organizations have been cited as collaborators in the film’s conceptual development.
