In this sequel, Clouseau is brought back after a spree of international heists targeting several priceless treasures, including the famous Pink Diamond. The investigation teams him up with a multinational squad of detectives, while his unpredictable methods continue to spark misunderstandings, calamities, and unexpected twists.
The Pink Panther 2 continues the revival of the franchise created by Blake Edwards and Maurice Richlin and made famous by Peter Sellers. After the 2006 film directed by Shawn Levy, Harald Zwart takes the helm, delivering a light, burlesque-driven approach that blends a breezy investigation with Steve Martin’s signature physical comedy.
The cast also includes Jean Reno, Alfred Molina, Emily Mortimer, Andy Garcia and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The movie targets fans of family-friendly comedies and light crime capers, in a tone where the investigation mainly serves as a backdrop for Clouseau’s gags and his infamous stumbles.
Already slated for Netflix in January 2026, The Pink Panther 2 is also headed to Prime Video on May 1, 2026, as part of a curated lineup blending comedies, action films and big-name franchises.
