📰
🎬 Directed by: Ava DuVernay
★ Starring: [New Cast Announced] as Paul Edgecomb, [New Actors] as John Coffey, with original cast cameos.
🕯️ Plot Summary
More than two decades after the emotionally resonant original, The Green Mile 2 returns audiences to Cold Mountain Penitentiary in 1930s Louisiana. When a young death-row guard—recently transferred in—is confronted by the arrival of a mysterious new inmate claiming to share the same miraculous gifts as John Coffey, old and new souls are thrown into a moral crucible.
As rumors swirl of a miracle worker hidden behind bars, whispers of hope ripple through the prison walls and into Jackson, Mississippi. When tragedy strikes the loved ones of current guards and townsfolk alike, the guard must grapple with faith, justice, and forgiveness—mirroring the trials of Edgecomb’s past while asking how far one will go to change a fate that seems predestined.
