After scoring Hulu’s biggest opening weekend for an original title back last year, Hulu is moving ahead with a sequel to Vacation Friends titled Honeymoon Friends. The film starred Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji, John Cena and Meredith Hagner as two couples who meet while on vacation in Mexico, only to have their lives take a surprising turn after returning home. While details regarding the sequel are sparse, Deadline has confirmed that Jake Choi (Single Parents) has joined the sequel’s cast.
Choi is said to be playing a hotel group exec named Yon. The character is described as being dour and confident and is said to talk a big game and make it a point to cut down Marcus (Howery) from the moment they meet. The duo eventually form a bond and become friends, but not without plenty of chaos along the way.
Choi is perhaps best known for his role on ABC’s Single Parents where he starred as Miggy. Prior to that, he starred in Ry Russo-Young’s adaptation of Nicola Yoon’s young adult novel The Sun Is Also a Star. He recently wrapped production on World’s Best for Disney and is set to appear in Please Baby Please.
Clay Tarver, who directed Vacation Friends, returns to direct Honeymoon Friends from a screenplay by Tom Mullen, Tim Mullen, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
