The 2018 film “Acrimony” has left a lasting impact on audiences since its release six years ago. Provoking intense discussions across various discussion forums, the movie’s themes and dramatic climax have ignited passionate debates among fans. While some champion the character of Robert, portrayed by actor Lyriq Bent, others find themselves sympathising with the actions of Melinda Gayle, portrayed by the talented Taraji P. Henson.

With rumours circulating about a potential sequel, anticipation for “Acrimony 2” has reached fever pitch. Yet, amidst the swirling speculation, fans find themselves grappling with the uncertainty of whether these stories of a second instalment are fact or fiction.

What is Acrimony 2?

“Acrimony 2” refers to the potential sequel to the 2018 psychological thriller film “Acrimony“, produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry.

“Acrimony” starred Taraji P. Henson as Melinda Moore, a loyal wife who discovers her husband, Robert (Lyriq Bent), has been cheating on her. The film follows Melinda’s descent into bitterness and revenge as she seeks to destroy Robert’s life.

The film was a box-office success, grossing over $68 million worldwide. However, it received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising Henson’s performance but criticising the film’s melodrama and pacing.

Is ‘Acrimony 2’ coming?

Back in 2023, some fans got excited when they saw a poster online for a supposed sequel to the movie “Acrimony”. The poster claimed the new movie would be called “Acrimony 2: Bitter” and would come out around Christmas 2023. People were thrilled, shared the poster over 38,000 times on X (formerly Twitter) and reacted with excitement.

But here is the catch: the poster was fake. It was not made by the people who made the prequel. Some fans pointed out that it was just a concept poster, not a real one.

Despite the excitement, there’s been no official confirmation about a sequel from Tyler Perry or any of the original cast members. Tyler Perry has made sequels before, but there is no solid proof that “Acrimony 2” is happening. Even though some fans have been asking about it on social media, there’s been no clear answer.
