Leonine Studios has acquired distribution rights in German speaking Europe, excluding a Pay-1 window on Prime Video, to Miramax’s highly anticipated sequel The Beekeeper 2 starring Jason Statham.

The company will release the action thriller across theaters in Germany on January 14, 2027.

Leonine Studios previously enjoyed success with the first instalment, releasing it in Germany on January 2024, where it debuted in the top slot and went on to generate 800,000 admissions and one million digital transactions as the country’s most successful TVOD title of the year.

Globally, The Beekeeper achieved a $162.6 million box office and a “92 % Verified Hot” rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Beekeeper 2 is produced and financed by Miramax and released outside of German speaking Europe via Amazon MGM Studios.

Indonesian director Timo Tjahjanto (Nobody 2) directs working from a script by Kurt Wimmer, who wrote the original.

The sequel sees Statham reprise his role of retired field agent Adam Clay and is produced by the star’s Punch Palace Productions, Chris Long’s Longshot Productions, and Wimmer.
