Nationality: United States
Mac and Kelly Radner are preparing to welcome their second child and plan to sell their house to move out to the suburbs. But their plans are upended when a rowdy college sorority moves into the house next door—the very same home where Teddy’s fraternity had already turned their daily life into a battlefield.
Led by Shelby, the members of Kappa Nu want to carve out a free-spirited, festive space that's free from the university's rules. For Mac and Kelly, the timing couldn't be worse: the sale of their house hinges on the neighborhood's apparent quiet. The couple then turns to Teddy, their former rival, to try to infiltrate and fracture the sorority.
Neighbors 2 picks up where the first film left off, shifting the battle to a new generation of female students. Seth Rogen has explained that the original was about resisting adulthood, while this sequel centers more on parents who’ve embraced grown-up life yet still grapple with who their daughters will become. The movie maintains the comic clash between family life and the party scene, while tightening its lens on gender dynamics and the independence of young women.
Centered on Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Zac Efron, the cast also includes Chloë Grace Moretz, Kiersey Clemons, Beanie Feldstein, Ike Barinholtz, Carla Gallo, Dave Franco, and Selena Gomez. After a first installment filmed in Los Angeles, the sequel was largely shot in Atlanta, where Mac, Kelly, and their new neighbors’ houses were recreated on a soundstage.
This Netflix drop lets you discover or revisit Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising on the same day as Neighbors, also streaming on the platform on May 31, 2026. The film is geared toward fans of irreverent American comedies, sequels that revisit their premise from a new angle, and ensemble casts drawn from US comedy of the 2010s.
