Netflix is set to rekindle the magic of the holidays with The Holiday 2: Love Across the Seasons, the long-awaited sequel to the beloved 2006 classic. Kate Winslet returns as the tender-hearted Iris Simpkins, while Cameron Diaz once again embodies the bold and free-spirited Amanda Woods. Reuniting with them are Jude Law and Jack Black, whose chemistry and charm remain as irresistible as ever. Adding a fresh spark to the ensemble are Florence Pugh and Timothée Chalamet, whose characters promise to weave unexpected twists into the tapestry of romance.
With a lavish budget estimated between $90 and $120 million, this globe-spanning production has spared no detail in crafting its visual splendor. Filming takes viewers from the cobblestone elegance of London to the tranquil beauty of the English countryside, and onward to the sun-kissed glamour of Los Angeles. Shot with Canon Cinema lenses, every frame captures the warmth of a shared smile, the intimacy of a stolen glance, and the quiet poetry of snow drifting against the glow of winter lights.
This sequel isn’t just about revisiting familiar faces — it’s about deepening the story. Love Across the Seasons explores the full spectrum of love: rekindled passions, hard-won second chances, and the bittersweet truth that new beginnings often require letting go of the past. With humor as sharp as its emotional beats are tender, the film strikes a perfect balance between cozy holiday escapism and genuine human connection.
Behind the scenes, the creative team has worked tirelessly to preserve the charm that made the original a holiday favorite while expanding the emotional scope for a modern audience. The result is a film that feels both timeless and freshly relevant, ready to resonate with those discovering the story for the first time and those returning like old friends.
Poised to be Netflix’s biggest holiday rom-com to date, The Holiday 2: Love Across the Seasons will premiere globally in December 2025, with an eagerly awaited trailer set to arrive mid-year. Romantic, witty, and visually breathtaking, it promises to capture hearts not just for the season — but for many seasons to come.
