The trailer for Acrimony 2, the sequel to Tyler Perry’s explosive psychological thriller, begins with a haunting montage of Melinda’s (Taraji P. Henson) final moments from the first film. Her voice echoes: “You’ll remember me… won’t you?” as we see her sinking into the depths of the ocean.
The scene cuts to Robert (Lyriq Bent), visibly haunted and drowning in guilt as he struggles to move on. The trailer reveals that Robert has written a memoir detailing his tumultuous relationship with Melinda and his rise to success. The book, titled Betrayed by Love, becomes a bestseller, thrusting him back into the spotlight. “I told my side,” he says in a TV interview, but his haunted expression suggests he hasn’t found peace.
As Robert attempts to rebuild his life, strange events begin to unfold. The trailer shows eerie glimpses: flowers delivered to his home with no sender, a wedding photo of him and Diana (Crystle Stewart) burned and left on his doorstep, and cryptic voicemails saying, “You don’t deserve to forget.”
The tension escalates when Diana begins experiencing her own nightmares. In one chilling scene, she wakes up to find “Liar” scrawled across her bathroom mirror in red lipstick. The trailer hints that Diana is pregnant, adding a layer of urgency and vulnerability to the situation.
A shocking twist is teased midway through the trailer when Robert discovers that someone has hacked into his financial accounts and donated a massive sum of money to Melinda’s family. He confronts Melinda’s sisters, who cryptically warn him, “You think it’s over, but you don’t know her like we do.”
The trailer’s second half is a whirlwind of suspense. Robert and Diana’s home is vandalized, their car brakes fail, and Diana is nearly pushed off a balcony during a public event. All signs point to Melinda—or someone inspired by her rage—still seeking vengeance.
The final moments of the trailer are pure chaos. Robert receives a package containing Melinda’s wedding ring, soaked in seawater, as her chilling voice plays on a recording: “Did you really think you could write me off?” The screen cuts to black with the tagline: “Some scars never heal.”
With its mix of psychological tension, revenge-fueled drama, and a possible supernatural twist, Acrimony 2 promises to be as gripping and unpredictable as its predecessor. Fans of the first film will be left on the edge of their seats, wondering just how far revenge can reach.
