“Life is like a really great novel. You never know what the next chapter will bring,” we’re told in a new teaser for “Book Club: The Next Chapter.” The sequel to 2018’s “Book Club” reunites Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen. The book club members and lifelong friends decide to celebrate Vivian’s (Fonda) surprise engagement by taking an epic trip. “The book says we can’t reject our destiny. And I think we should all go to Italy,” Carol (Steenburgen) announces. “We might never have a chance to do something like this again.”
As Vivian says, “Life is unpredictable — and it’s the surprises that make it worth living.” Based on the teaser, the foursome have plenty of surprises in store for them abroad.
A four-time Oscar nominee, Keaton took home the prize for “Annie Hall.” She recently starred alongside Elizabeth Lail (“You”) in “Mack & Rita,” a body-swapping comedy from Katie Aselton.
Fonda has received seven Oscar nominations, and won for “Klute” and “Coming Home.” She scored an Emmy for “The Dollmaker.” She was last seen in the seventh and final season of “Grace and Frankie.”
Bergen took home five Emmys for her starring role on “Murphy Brown” and landed an Oscar nod for “Starting Over.” She recently appeared in “The Conners” and “As They Made Us,” Mayim Bialik’s feature directorial debut.
Steenburgen received an Oscar for “Melvin and the Howard.” “Mr. Mayor,” “Nightmare Alley,” and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” are among her latest credits.
“Book Club: The Next Chapter” hits theaters May 12.
