Moonfall 2 Release Date: Is Season 2 Officially Confirmed?

By Rupinder Kaur On Jan 25, 2023

Everything about Moonfall 2 you need to know. Moonfall came out in theatres on February 4. It was directed by Roland Emmerich and based on a screenplay written by him, Spenser Cohen, and Harald Kloser. With so many movies getting sequels these days, Emmerich’s sci-fi action movie seems like a good candidate for a sequel, especially after the ending, which was unexpected. Will there be a sequel to Moonfall? Here’s what you need to know.

When an unknown force knocks the moon out of its orbit, two astronauts, Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) and Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) team up with conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley) to stop the moon from crashing into Earth and ending life as they know it. What they find is beyond anything they could have imagined, and it sets up an idea that could be explored more in future movies.

Given how Moonfall ends, there is a good chance that the story will continue. Emmerich himself has thought about making a sequel to the movie, and the way he sets it up at the end leaves the door open for that to happen. Here’s what we know so far about Moonfall 2, how the first movie sets up a second one, and when people can expect to see it.

Moonfall 2 Release Date

Unfortunately, Moonfall 2 hasn’t been confirmed yet, so we don’t know when it will come out. The first Moonfall movie was announced in May 2019, and it came out in February 2022. This means that it took just under three years to make the movie and get it into theatres. But because of the COVID pandemic, this plan had to be changed.

If we use this timeline to figure out when a second Moonfall movie will come out, it won’t be until late 2024. But we know that some studios like to move quickly when it comes to making sequels, especially if Moonfall does as well at the box office as we think it will.

When Moonfall 2 gets the go-ahead and the news comes out, we can expect Lionsgate to move quickly and try to get to work on the sequel as soon as possible. Even so, we wouldn’t hold our breath for the next book in the Moonfall series to come out before 2024.

Who Will Be in the Cast of Moonfall 2?

We don’t know for sure if the original cast will come back for more Moonfall movies, but we do know that the three main characters make it through the first movie.

At the end of Moonfall, Brian Harper and Jacinda Fowler get back to Earth safely and see their families again. So, they lived happily ever after, right? Well, if Moonfall is any indication, we know that both of these characters want to learn more about space and can’t say no to a risky mission.

So, Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry could come back for Moonfall 2 if their characters want to go back to space. Both of these actors have been in long-running series before, so Moonfall could be their next long-term project.

John Bradley, who plays K.C. Houseman on Game of Thrones, is in a very different place. He technically lived on, but as part of the moon’s operating system, he was now an augmented reality version of himself. But the OS’s tease at the end of the movie suggests that this guy will play a big role in any future Moonfall movies, so it’s likely that Bradley will be back.

What Will Happen in Moonfall 2?

Since there is no official synopsis yet, we can only guess what Moonfall 2’s story will be about. The ending of Moonfall definitely sets up a sequel in a big way, and it sounds like there could be more swarms of dangerous artificial intelligence (AI) all over the universe that needs to be stopped.

At the end of Moonfall, when John Bradley’s character, K.C. Houseman, destroys the AI on the moon, he is taken in by the OS and becomes part of the moon’s consciousness. The OS then tells Houseman, “There is work to be done,” which suggests that he will have a big part to play in any future battles with their nanotech enemies.

Our best guess, which you should take with a huge grain of salt, is that Houseman and the OS have now saved the moon and will go out into the universe to try to stop the AI that have taken over the other meta-structures.

Still to be seen is how that possible storyline would fit into the story arcs of both Brian Harper (Wilson) and Jocinda Fowler (Berry). Houseman and the OS might need the help of the astronauts and ask them to join them on their quest. Or, maybe the main characters in a Moonfall sequel would be different.

With meta-structures all over the universe, it’s possible that there are other kinds of life out there, and maybe some ancient, technologically advanced humans are waiting to become part of the Moonfall mythology.

Is There Any Trailer for Moonfall 2?
