While You Were Sleeping 2: The Second Dream (2026)
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Lily Collins, and Timothee Chalamet
The beloved Callaghan family returns to the big screen, and their legendary dinner table is about to become significantly more crowded. Thirty years after the heartwarming events that brought Lucy and Jack together for their happy ending, the narrative shifts to their daughter, Rosie. Played by Lily Collins, Rosie finds herself navigating the dangerously chaotic waters of a brand new little white lie that threatens to spiral out of control.
Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman reprise their roles as the ultimate endearing yet meddling parents, providing a solid emotional foundation for this next chapter. The story takes flight when Rosie, an ambitious professional at a high-end travel firm, rescues a mysterious tech billionaire—portrayed by Timothee Chalamet—following a dramatic snowboarding accident in the Swiss Alps. After a bystander’s video of the rescue goes viral, the billionaire’s eccentric and powerful family mistakenly concludes that Rosie is his secret fiancée. To protect the company’s volatile stock price while he remains temporarily unconscious, Rosie is swept up into a whirlwind world of extreme luxury and high-stakes family politics.
The plot thickens with a classic romantic twist. As Rosie dutifully plays the part of the devoted bride-to-be, she unexpectedly begins to develop deep feelings for the billionaire’s estranged and ruggedly charming brother, who has chosen a life off the grid. The chemistry between them is electric, the personal stakes are higher than ever, and the production design is breathtaking as Rosie transforms from a reserved city girl into a sophisticated woman caught between two vastly different worlds.
Blending the cozy, nostalgic charm of the original film with modern jet-setting glamour, While You Were Sleeping 2: The Second Dream is a heartwarming celebration of fate, the complexity of family, and the beautiful mess that occurs when one truly follows their heart. It serves as a cinematic love letter to the idea that sometimes the greatest joys in life happen while you are busy dreaming of someone else.
