“I Can Only Imagine 2”: A Journey of Grace, Grit, and Redemption Unfolds in New Trailer
The long-awaited trailer for “I Can Only Imagine 2” has officially dropped, reigniting anticipation among faith-based film lovers and music fans alike. Following the phenomenal success of the 2018 original, which chronicled MercyMe frontman Bart Millard’s redemption story and his moving reconciliation with his father, the sequel promises another emotionally charged narrative rooted in faith and forgiveness. This time, the spotlight shines on MercyMe’s chart-topping anthem “Even If,” delving into the raw reality behind the music — where fame and sold-out arenas collide with personal trials, family strain, and the quiet struggle to hold onto grace in the storm. Director Jon Erwin calls it “a beautiful story — one that proves God’s work doesn’t end when success begins.”
Set to hit theaters on February 20, 2026, “I Can Only Imagine 2” continues Millard’s journey as a celebrated artist facing the haunting echoes of his past. When his personal life begins to unravel, a providential encounter with Christian singer Tim Timmons leads him back to the foundation of his faith — gratitude, humility, and the redemptive love that once saved him. Produced by Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company, the sequel blends music, vulnerability, and divine purpose in a way that transcends the screen. If the trailer is any indication, “I Can Only Imagine 2” is not just a continuation — it’s a resurrection of hope for anyone who’s ever fallen, broken, and found grace waiting at the edge of their song.
