Following its success in theaters in 2019, Jumanji: next level, the second installment in the new Jumanji saga, arrives on HBO Max from August 13, 2025. Directed by Jake Kasdan, this adventure/comedy film once again brings together Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan in a videogame universe as spectacular as it is dangerous. The film is suitable for children aged 8 and over.
The trailer reveals new settings and body swaps, with even more challenges and humor.
Jumanji: next level will be broadcast on HBO Max from August 13, 2025.
Synopsis: The team is back, but the game has changed. As they return to Jumanji to rescue one of their own, they discover a totally unexpected world. From arid deserts to snowy mountains, the players will have to brave unknown and unexplored spaces, in order to get out of the world's most dangerous game.
Jumanji: next level builds on the mechanics established by the previous film, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, with a return to the magical video game, but in brand-new levels. The film introduces extreme new environments and changes the rules of the game: characters now embody different avatars, adding a comic touch to the group's interactions.
With its mix of action, humor and family adventures, the film retains the spirit of adventure that made the franchise such a success, while expanding the visual and narrative possibilities of its universe.
The four main actors are featured in new avatar configurations, allowing each to play a different role from the previous film. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan share the action scenes and comedy moments, while Awkwafina, Danny DeVito and Danny Glover join the adventure to add new comic and emotional springs.
Group dynamics are at the heart of the story, with an emphasis on cooperation, mistakes and intergenerational relations, all supported by fluid, spectacular staging.
Accessible from the age of 8, Jumanji: next level is aimed at a broad family audience. Children will enjoy the playful adventure scenes, while adults will appreciate the video game references and nods to parent-child or grandparent-grandchild relationships.
Fans of light-hearted adventure films like Spy Kids, Zathura or Pirates of the Caribbean may find this a fast-paced visual adventure with an accessible, caring tone.
Jumanji: next level is a family adventure comedy directed by Jake Kasdan, starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan. This second opus takes the concept of the magical video game and adds new characters, new environments and new challenges. The film will be available on HBO Max from August 13, 2025.
