"...'Trailer Park Boys 2' begins with 'Julian', 'Ricky' and 'Bubbles', newly released from jail and brimming with optimism about their prospects for the future.However, when they return to 'Sunnyvale', they encounter a leaner and much meaner 'Park Supervisor Jim Lahey' who has some big changes in mind for the park, changes that don’t exactly go over well with the Boys, who will now face their biggest test since Grade 10..."
"The Trailer Park Boys" began their rise to fame and fortune when producer Barrie Dunn convinced Clattenburg to turn an award-winning short film into a TV series.In 2001, 'Trailer Park Boys' debuted on Showcase Television, with the story premise of a documentary camera crew recording the public/private doings of 3 drunken/stoned out guys.
After six successful seasons, the boys made the leap to the big screen courtesy producer Ivan "Stripes" Reitman, where their debut achieved the biggest opening weekend box office in Canadian film history.
Alliance Films will release the new film across Canada October 2009.

"We are delighted that they and the talented production team have agreed to make a movie sequel. I’m confident that audiences will love this story which is even more outrageous than the last film..."
