Movies That Matter: I Can Only Imagine 2

Movies That Matter: I Can Only Imagine 2
Coming out on February 20, 2026, is the sequel to the award-winning movie I Can Only Imagine, which was based on the true story of the hit song by MercyMe. The first movie told the story of the chart-topping hit for MercyMe. A story of pain and redemption, focused on Bart Millers’ upbringing and the struggles he dealt with his abusive father. The sequel takes on the story and message of their song Even If.
This is the synopsis from www.icanonlyimagine.com : After the breakout success of the song “I Can Only Imagine,” MercyMe’s Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) is living the dream—sold-out arenas, a devoted fan base, and a thriving career. But behind the spotlight, Bart’s past threatens the family he’s built, especially the fragile bond with his son, Sam (Sammy Dell). When hopeful newcomer Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us”) joins the band for their biggest tour yet, he unknowingly brings a renewed gratitude to Bart’s life through their unlikely friendship. Bart soon discovers that Tim carries hardships—and secrets—of his own, forcing him to face his past and repair his relationships with Sam and his wife, Shannon (Sophie Skelton), before fame costs him what matters most.
Based on the heartfelt true story behind the hit single “Even If,” I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2 is the inspiring next chapter of faith, family, and finding God in the fire.
Directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle, written by Brent McCorkle, and starring John Michael Finley, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Sammy Dell with Trace Adkins and Dennis Quaid.
