The second part of Kaamelott 2, a fantasy film series, has been delayed again, with its release now set for March 10, 2027, according to its distributor and co-producer, SND. Originally scheduled for November 11, the film has faced multiple postponements. The second chapter was already delayed from its initial plan to be released "four or five months" after the first part, as the director had mentioned in the program En aparté. This third and final installment aims to wrap up the "fantastic and absurd adventures of the kingdom." The film features a large cast, including Alexandre Astier, Haroun, Franck Dubosc, Christian Clavier, Alain Chabat, Sting, Audrey Fleurot, Thomas VDB, Alban Lenoir, Antoine de Caunes, Anne Girouard, Jean-Christophe Hembert, and Lionnel Astier.
The first part of Kaamelott - Second Chapter, released in October 2025, attracted just over a million viewers and received mixed reviews from critics. In contrast, the first chapter of the series, released in July 2021 after the pandemic lockdowns, had drawn nearly 2.7 million viewers. The two parts of Kaamelott 2 were filmed over 100 days, spread across eight months, from the summer of 2024 to the winter of 2025. These parts will be released more than a year apart, allowing for a more extended narrative experience.
Director Alexandre Astier previously outlined the plot of the second chapter, describing it as "the chapter where Arthur sends his knights — veterans or novices, long-time companions or recruits of the year — on an adventure." This part of the story involves a large number of characters divided into teams who leave the Round Table to prove their worth and courage around the world. Astier emphasized that the chapter is long and consists of many parallel stories that require thorough exploration. He noted that he would not have condensed all of this into a two-hour film.
Astier also explained that the two parts of Kaamelott 2 are meant to be seen as a single, unified film. They share the same timeline, worlds, and characters, and were filmed over the same extended period. He compared the two parts to "a thick book cut in two" or "a long performance with an intermission," suggesting that viewers can watch them consecutively to experience the full story as a single, cohesive narrative.
