Boss Baby 2 release date | Trailer, cast and how to watch
The baby is back!
The first Boss Baby was a surprise box office smash, with a half a billion dollar worldwide gross that would surely please the title character himself.
It's no surprise then that a sequel was quickly greenlit with Alec Baldwin and all the main cast returning, joining a rapidly growing Boss Baby shared universe that includes a Netflix series and an interactive special.
The Boss Baby: Family Business takes the unusual route of being set 40 years later, with the first film's protagonist Ted all grown up - only for his young niece Tina to be revealed as a Boss Baby also.
However, US fans are in no danger of outgrowing the film ahead of release - the movie is out now in the States, and is the latest blockbuster to get a hybrid release in both theatres and streaming.
The computer-animated comedy sequel is available now on Peacock, the new streaming service from NBC that is home to shows such as The Office US.

Boss Baby 2 cast
Alec Baldwin returns as the title character, lending his sardonic voice to the toddler turned super spy. His other voice roles include Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Rise of the Guardians and The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie.
Also joining him is James Marsden, who replaces Tobey Maguire as the voice of Boss Baby's big brother Tim Templeton. Marsden is best known as Cyclops in the X-Men series, as well as performances in TV series Westworld and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Comedian Amy Sedaris also joins the cast as Tina Templeton. Sedaris’ voice can be heard in Netflix’s BoJack Horseman as well as several Adult Swim series such as The Heart, She Holler.
Returning from the first film are chat show host Jimmy Kimmel and Friends legend Lisa Kudrow as the parents of the Templeton brothers. Kimmel has been a busy voice actor of late, starring in the upcoming Paw Patrol movie and also doing work for Teen Titans Go! To The Movies. Kudrow, most recognisable for her portrayal as Phoebe Buffay, is one of the highest grossing actresses of all time, with her films taking more than $2 billion at the box office.
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria also joins the cast as the grown-up Tim’s wife, Carol. She is joined by cult legend Jeff Goldbum who will play antagonist Dr. Armstrong.
Will Boss Baby 2 be on Netflix?
The Boss Baby has been an enduring hit on Netflix since it was made available on the streaming service. The streamer has also invested a significant amount of money into the franchise by backing TV versions of the film as well as an interactive special.
Boss Baby 2 is likely to end up on Netflix eventually, but as we’re still months away from the release of the film, we can't make any promises or give you an idea of timescale. As soon as we have more information we will let you know.
