“Obsession runs in the blood.”

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

After the shocking death of Melinda (Taraji P. Henson), her estranged younger sister Vanessa (Keke Palmer) uncovers a private diary — a volatile archive of confessions, anguish, and fury. As she unravels its pages, Vanessa becomes dangerously drawn to Robert (Lyriq Bent), who now seems to be living an idyllic life with Diana (Gabrielle Union), thriving on the very dream Melinda sacrificed everything for.

But the deeper she investigates, the darker the truth becomes. Was Robert the true manipulator… or was Melinda far more dangerous than even she admitted? The fragile line between justice and vengeance, grief and madness, begins to blur beyond recognition.

The diary revealed her story… but the truth always has more than one face.

With escalating paranoia, shocking revelations, and a harrowing yacht-set climax that mirrors the original’s unforgettable finale, Acrimony 2 delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense infused with Tyler Perry’s trademark emotional intensity.
