Tyler Perry returns with Acrimony 2, the chilling, emotionally charged sequel to the 2018 psychological thriller. This time, the story doesn’t end with Melinda — it begins with what she left behind.

After Melinda’s shocking death (Taraji P. Henson), her estranged younger sister Vanessa (Keke Palmer) uncovers Melinda’s private journal — a volatile archive of confessions, rage, and torment. As Vanessa becomes consumed by its revelations, she finds herself dangerously drawn to Robert (Lyriq Bent), now living a seemingly perfect life with Diana (Gabrielle Union), reveling in the very dream Melinda once sacrificed everything for.

But the deeper Vanessa sinks into the past, the more distorted the truth becomes. Was Robert always the manipulator… or was Melinda far more dangerous than she ever admitted? The fragile line between grief and madness, justice and vengeance, grows increasingly perilous.

The diary was her story. But truth wears many faces.

With spiraling paranoia, shocking revelations, and a climactic yacht confrontation that echoes the unforgettable finale of the original, Acrimony 2 delivers relentless suspense and raw emotional fire — all crafted in Tyler Perry’s signature style.

Starring: Taraji P. Henson (flashbacks), Lyriq Bent, Keke Palmer as Vanessa, Gabrielle Union as Diana
