The sequel takes place several years later and has JJ chaperoning Sophie’s school trip to Italy. Chaos ensues as the two find themselves caught up in a terrorist plot involving Sophie’s best friend, Collin, and Collin’s father, CIA Chief David Kim.
Joining the returning cast for the sequel are comedic talents Anna Faris, Craig Robinson and Flula Borg. 
“I’m incredibly excited to have our team reassemble for the next chapter of our story,” Segal told Deadline. “Having Anna, Craig, and Flula join our amazing cast is like a kiss from the comedy Gods.”
Production starts this month, but the movie’s release date has yet to be announced.
