The Bad Guys 2 Release Date: What You Need to Know
Get ready for more slick suits, thrilling heists, and hilarious action — The Bad Guys 2 is here, and fans around the globe are excited to see what trouble our favorite reformed villains get into this time.
The sequel to DreamWorks Animation's surprise 2022 hit The Bad Guys, this long-anticipated follow-up reunites audiences with the charmingly chaotic gang of animal criminals who are still trying to stay on the straight and narrow… kind of.
Official Release Dates
The Bad Guys 2 hit theaters in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2025, followed by its United States release on August 1, 2025. These summer dates were perfectly timed to capture family audiences during the holiday season, and the excitement shows at the box office, with early figures already topping $10 million in just the opening week.
A Quick Recap: What Is The Bad Guys 2 About?
Set several years after the events of the original film, The Bad Guys 2 follows Wolf, Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Ms. Tarantula (a.k.a. Webs) as they face a new dilemma: a mysterious villain known as the Phantom Bandit is committing crimes under their name. When the team gets framed and blackmailed into helping a rival all-female crew, they must decide whether to return to their criminal roots — or risk everything to do what's right.
The stakes are higher than ever, with a space heist involving a magnet-powered MOON-X rocket and a plot to steal the world's gold. Throw in betrayal, secret identities, a daring rescue mission, and a romance rekindled, and you've got the makings of a wildly entertaining animated adventure.

Behind the Scenes
Directed once again by Pierre Perifel and co-directed by JP Sans, The Bad Guys 2 benefits from a seasoned creative team. Writers Yoni Brenner and Etan Cohen deliver a sharp, funny script that balances action, heart, and satire.
Animation duties were split between DreamWorks' in-house teams and Sony Pictures Imageworks, giving the film a fresh but consistent visual style. Composer Daniel Pemberton also returns to deliver a high-energy soundtrack that brings the heist scenes to life.
Final Thoughts
