Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising lands on Netflix on May 31, 2026, bringing Rose Byrne back as Kelly Radner in a sequel that turns a suburban home sale into a new war with the house next door. The 1h 33m comedy reunites Seth Rogen, Byrne and Zac Efron, and it is streaming alongside the first Neighbors on the same day.
Directed by Nicholas Stoller, the film picks up with Mac and Kelly Radner preparing to welcome their second child and trying to sell their house so they can move to the suburbs. That plan depends on the neighborhood appearing calm, but the arrival of a rowdy college sorority next door threatens to wreck everything. The group is led by Shelby, played by Chloë Grace Moretz, and the members of Kappa Nu want a free-spirited party space away from university rules.
The pressure pushes Mac and Kelly into unlikely tactics. They turn to Teddy, played by Zac Efron, to try to infiltrate the sorority and break it apart. The cast also includes Kiersey Clemons, Beanie Feldstein, Ike Barinholtz, Carla Gallo, Dave Franco and Selena Gomez, giving the sequel a crowded comic lineup that helped define the film when it first reached French cinemas on July 6, 2016.
That release came two years after the original Neighbors, and the sequel shifts the central fight from a fraternity in the first film to a sorority-led clash in the second. Seth Rogen has said the original was about resisting adulthood, and that theme is still there, only now it plays out around diapers, home sales and one more desperate attempt to hold onto a house that no longer fits the life inside it.
The movie was largely shot in Atlanta, where Mac, Kelly and the new neighbors’ houses were recreated on a soundstage. That production choice gave the sequel a controlled setting for a story built on chaos, and it is one reason the film still plays like a neat, contained burst of studio comedy rather than a sprawling campus romp. For anyone looking for a quick return to the Radners’ world, Netflix is making that easy on May 31.
The move answers the simple question behind the streaming date: yes, Rose Byrne is back in the sequel that made her suburban standoff with the next-door party house one of the sharper comic hooks of the series.
