Featuring Sam Rockwell & Awkwafina, the film’s Netflix arrival gives viewers another chance to catch the $239 Million Heist Sequel that kept families entertained in theaters.

The Bad Guys 2 begins streaming on Netflix in March

The Bad Guys 2 from DreamWorks Animation will start streaming on Netflix on March 21, 2026, opening the door to a larger home audience after its theatrical run (via What’s on Netflix). Distributed by Universal Pictures, the sequel picks up with the once-notorious animal crew trying to stick to their new “good guy” lifestyle, until another high-risk job pulls them back into the game.

Director Pierre Perifel returns as the director, bringing back a loaded voice lineup. Sam Rockwell voices Mr. Wolf again, with Awkwafina back as Ms. Tarantula. Familiar voices from Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, and Zazie Beetz also return. New energy comes from Natasha Lyonne and Maria Bakalova, helping the sequel keep the same playful, family-friendly tone that made the original a crowd-pleaser.

The Bad Guys 2 scored well with critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the sequel sits at an 87% critics rating with about 94% audience approval, a clear sign viewers are still vibing with the franchise. Reviews say the film keeps its cheeky, rule-breaking energy while going bigger with the action and scale. At the box office, the numbers came in solid. Made on an estimated $80 million budget, the movie pulled in roughly $239.4 million worldwide.

Now the focus shifts to streaming. With its rapid-fire jokes, slick animation, and fan-favorite voice cast back in action, the Netflix rollout is expected to spark a fresh wave of viewers, especially families who skipped theaters but are ready to jump back in with the lovable crew of reformed troublemakers.
