Peter Rabbit 2 release date

The film will be one of the first to be released in cinemas once they finally reopen, becoming available from Monday 17th May 2021.

It was originally scheduled for March of last year, but was pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Peter Rabbit 2 cast

As with the first film, there is a star-studded cast bringing Beatrix Potter's characters to life, with James Corden returning to voice the titular bunny once again, and Domhnall Gleeson and Rose Byrne reprising their live-action roles as Thomas and Bea McGregor.

Other members of the voice cast to return include Margot Robbie as Flopsy Rabbit, Elizabeth Debicki as Mopsy Rabbit, Sia as Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Ewen Leslie as Pigling Bland, while there are also several new additions including Lennie James as Barnabas.

After playing Mr McGregor in the first film, Sam Neil now takes on the role of Tommy Brock, while Aimee Horne voices Cottontail Rabbit, the character previously played by Daisy Ridley. Meanwhile David Oyelowo also joins the cast in a live-action role as Nigel Basil-Jones

Peter Rabbit 2 plot

The film will follow the rebellious rabbit as he gets up to more adventures – with Peter this time venturing outside the McGregors' garden and coming into contact with a whole new world.

The official synopsis provided by Sony Pictures reads, "In Peter Rabbit 2, the lovable rogue is back. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation.

"Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated. But when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be."
