Filming Has Officially Begun on Beekeeper 2
Action fans have been eagerly awaiting Beekeeper 2, which has officially begun filming. The series, which gained a strong fan base with the first film, returns with Jason Statham reprising his role as Adam Clay. This time, Timo Tjahjanto is directing, and the production team aims to deliver the project in time for a 2026 release date.
New Cast Joins Beekeeper 2
Director Timo Tjahjanto announced the start of filming with an image shared on his social media account. This post marks the official start of the second film in the series. The production team is already preparing for post-production and marketing after a busy filming period. If the schedule holds, Beekeeper 2 will be released in late 2026.
Jason Statham returns in the lead role, and Jeremy Irons returns as Wallace Westwyld. Newcomer to the cast is young actress Yara Shahidi. In addition to these three, additional actors yet to be announced are expected to join the project. Characters that will deepen the mysterious nature of the Beekeepers organization are expected to be more prominent in the second film.
The script, as in the first film, is being written by Kurt Wimmer. Statham also serves as a producer in addition to starring. Produced in collaboration with Punch Palace Productions and Longshot Productions, the film aims to be a strong sequel in the action genre.
Beekeeper, whose resemblance to the John Wick series was notable for its first film’s intense fight scenes and emphasis on revenge, won audiences over. The second film is expected to build on this foundation with a darker story and an expanded Beekeeper mythology, thus establishing the series as a permanent fixture in action cinema.
