🎬 Next Friday 2 (2025)
👉 Ice Cube, Mike Epps, Justin Pierce
You can take Craig out of the hood… but you can’t take the hood out of Craig’s life. Next Friday 2 cranks up the comedy and chaos, bringing Ice Cube back as the straight-faced survivor who just can’t catch a break, no matter what neighborhood he runs to.
After barely surviving the streets of South Central — and the wrath of neighborhood menace Deebo — Craig (Ice Cube) thinks he’s finally found a safe haven with his lottery-rich Uncle Elroy and his offbeat cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps). Suburban lawns, gated communities, and quiet cul-de-sacs promise peace… at least on paper.
But trouble always travels fast. Deebo’s shadow looms larger than ever, and Craig’s “fresh start” quickly unravels into a comedy of errors. Nosy neighbors, jealous rivals, and Day-Day’s nonstop screwups guarantee that the so-called quiet life is anything but calm. Add in Uncle Elroy’s outrageous schemes and over-the-top lifestyle, and Craig realizes the suburbs come with just as much madness as the hood — just with fancier lawns.
With Ice Cube’s deadpan delivery holding steady against a storm of absurdity, and Mike Epps’ manic energy stealing every scene, Next Friday 2 doubles down on sharp one-liners, wild antics, and the kind of street-smart humor that made the franchise a cultural touchstone.
Because no matter where Craig goes — city streets or suburban driveways — one thing is certain: Friday never stays quiet for long.
