Five years after a catastrophic comet strike devastated Earth, the surviving Garrity family must leave the relative safety of their bunker in Greenland and journey across a frozen, broken world in search of a new home. Faced with harsh elements and a collapsing civilization, they must rely on grit, ingenuity, and each other to survive.
Greenland 2: Migration is a 2026 American post-apocalyptic survival thriller directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Chris Sparling and Mitchell LaFortune. It is the official sequel to the 2020 disaster film Greenland, once again starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin as John and Allison Garrity, with Roman Griffin Davis replacing Roger Dale Floyd as their son Nathan. The story picks up five years after the Clarke interstellar comet destroyed much of the planet. Forced to abandon the bunker that protected them from extinction-level devastation, the Garritys and a small group of survivors embark on a perilous trek across the shattered wasteland of Europe, hoping to find a place where life can still flourish. Along the way, they face brutal weather, scarce resources, and the constant threat of the world around them crumbling under the weight of its own destruction. Produced by STXfilms, Anton, Thunder Road Pictures, and distributed by Lionsgate, Greenland 2: Migration blends action, suspense, and human drama in a high-stakes fight for survival. Scheduled for wide U.S. release on January 9, 2026, the film will appeal to fans of intense disaster storytelling and character-driven survival tales.

Fun Facts
Production took over a classified Icelandic NATO command bunker near Keflavík; crew had to sweep for live UXO before cameras rolled. The echo-chamber concrete is untouched—every dripping-water sound you hear is location ambience, not Foley.
Director Ric Roman Waugh blocked an 11-minute continuous shot that spirals from sub-basement dorm up to surface sunrise; if any actor missed a mark the entire bunker had to be re-lit—they nailed it on Take 4 and that’s the version in the final cut.
