The release date estimate for The Rip 2 is a big talking point among fans of the first movie. The Rip premiered on January 16, 2026, and it delivered what the trailers had promised — intense drama and high-octane action. Now, viewers are eager to know whether a second movie is in the works. Especially since the first movie brought both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on-screen together after a long time, the next movie couldn’t arrive sooner. So, is there a second movie in the works? If yes, when will it come out?
Here’s what we know so far about The Rip 2’s release date estimate, news, and updates.
What is The Rip 2’s release date estimate?
The release date for The Rip 2 is estimated to be sometime between 2027 and 2029. This is based on the time it can take the studio to shoot the movie, if greenlit.
The first movie was produced under Damon and Affleck’s own production studio, Artists Equity. So, it is reasonable to assume that they might continue to produce the second movie and possibly even star in it.
Joe Carnahan has directed the first movie that he co-wrote the story with Michael McGrale. The plot follows Lt. Dane Dumars and his team as they investigate a stash house after an anonymous tip. Upon their arrival, they discover a false wall hiding more than $20 million in cash. This revelation threatens the integrity of the team, putting everyone’s loyalty in doubt.
Since its release, The Rip has received favorable reviews. Currently, it holds a 81% Tomatometer score and 68% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Rip 2 news and updates
Neither Netflix nor the production studio have annouced a second movie. But considering the favorable reviews, it is possible that there could be another one. However, it has been only a few days since the movie premiered on the site. So, it might be a few more days, or even weeks, before any information becomes public.
The Rip cast members include Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, and Teyana Taylor, among others.
