The life-long female friends of the popular book club are writing their next destinies in the newly released trailer for the anticipated sequel, ‘Book Club: The Next Chapter.’ Focus Features, which will release the comedy in theaters on Friday, May 12, unveiled the sneak peek into the series’ next chapter.

The follow-up to the 2018 romantic comedy, ‘Book Club,’ is based on characters created by filmmakers Bill Holderman and Erin Simms. Like its predecessor, the upcoming movie was written and produced by the filmmakers. Holderman also returned to the director’s chair for the sequel.

Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen reprise their roles of the franchise’s four protagonists – Diane, Vivian, Sharon and Carol – in the forthcoming follow-up. Craig T. Nelson, Andy Garcia and Don Johnson also reprise their characters in the sequel, which also features series newcomer Giancarlo Giannini.

‘Book Club: The Next Chapter’ follows the four best friends as they take their book club to Italy for the fun girls trip they never had. But when things then go off the rails and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure.
