‘Spinal Tap’ Sequel Sets September 2025 Release Date

The long-awaited 'This Is Spinal Tap' sequel is set to hit theaters in September, with a new teaser for the film also arriving today.

The announcement today is accompanied by a short teaser, which doesn’t show much, except a hand — likely that of guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest) — plugging into an amp and adjusting the levels. Reiner is returning as both director and in-film documentarian Marty DiBergi, while Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer are all reprising their roles as Nigel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls, respectively. Speaking with Variety about the film in 2022, Reiner revealed that most of it would be improvised, though there would be a firm structure in place, modeled in part on Martin Scorsese’s classic documentary about the Band’s final concert, The Last Waltz.
