Retour au collège (2026)

Retour au collège (2026) is the confirmed French title for the upcoming sequel to the highly successful 2024 comedy film "Collège" (known internationally as "Middle School"). Directed by Éric Lartigau, the film brings back the beloved cast led by Omar Sy in the role of Sylvain Arnaud, a father navigating the turbulent waters of his son's middle school years. The original film was a massive box office hit in France, becoming one of the highest-grossing domestic films of 2024, which prompted the immediate greenlighting of a second installment.

The narrative continues to explore the humorous and heartfelt challenges of modern parenting through the lens of adolescent education. While specific plot details remain under wraps, early reports suggest that Sylvain and his family will face new academic and social hurdles as his children progress further into their teenage years. The screenplay is being crafted to maintain the balance between slapstick comedy and genuine emotional resonance that characterized the first movie.
