Thirty years after Edward Burns’ The Brothers McMullen wowed audiences with its exploration of the lives and struggles of three Irish American brothers from New York, the family returns in the long-awaited follow-up, The Family McMullen.

As with the original, The Family McMullen is an ensemble comedy written and directed by Burns. The new film tracks the romantic entanglements of a now 50something Barry McMullen (Burns) and his 20something kids, as well as his brother Patrick (Michael McGlone) and widowed sister-in-law Molly (Connie Britton), who are also facing unexpected romantic hurdles.

In addition to multiple EMMY and Golden Globe Award-nominated actress Britton (Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story, The White Lotus) Burns (Saving Private Ryan, The Holiday) and McGlone (She’s the One, The Bone Collector) each reprising their roles from the first film, the film also stars EMMY and SAG Award nominee and Golden Globes winner Tracee Ellis Ross (American Fiction, Black-ish), Halston Sage (X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Prodigal Son), SAG Award winner Juliana Canfield (Succession), Pico Alexander (Home Again, Gossip Girl), and SAG Award winner Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight).

The film’s producers are Ellen H. Schwartz, Aaron Lubin and Burns, and the executive producer is Claudine Marrotte. Joining Burns behind the camera are director of photography William Rexer, production designer Sam Bader, editor Janet Gaynor, and composer Séamus Egan.

The film is available on HBO Max starting December 5th 2025!

Halston plays Emma in the game, an actress and influencer who runs the camp’s drama activities. The official website has provided a small blurb about Emma below:

Emma is something of a documentarian, capturing and commenting on nearly everything through her phone’s front-facing camera for her loyal followers. As a talented actress and enterprising influencer, she runs the camp’s drama activities, teasing out the best (and worst) in everyone she meets.
