The rowdy gang of “Bad Moms” are back together for the sequel, “A Bad Moms Christmas,” which opens this November just over a year after the original was a surprise summer hit for studio STX. The company premiered the first red-band trailer for the follow-up on Wednesday.
Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn are all back for more mischief as three foul-mouthed mothers forced to deal with their own mothers visiting for the holidays.
The trio spend most of the trailer commiserating about their busy lives in a shopping mall, while sipping on beers. Like the first film, this sequel looks rowdy, with loads of binge drinking, creative swearing and sex jokes.
Playing the visiting grandmothers are Susan Sarandon, Cheryl Hines and Christine Baranski, who gets the best line of the promo: “Moms don’t enjoy, they give joy — that’s how being a mom works.”
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore wrote and directed the film, with Suzanne Todd as producer and Bill Block as executive producer.
“Bad Moms” made $113 million at the domestic box office and $179 million worldwide after its July 29 release.
STX also announced plans for a “Bad Dads” spin-off, but it pushed off a summer 2017 release date to focus on the straight sequel with the original cast.
“A Bad Moms Christmas” opens November 3. Watch the trailer above.
