🎬 Bad Moms 3: The Empty Nest (2026)

The moms are back and ready to prove that just because the nest is empty doesn’t mean the fun is over in Bad Moms 3: The Empty Nest (2026)! Amy (Mila Kunis), Kiki (Kristen Bell), and Carla (Kathryn Hahn) are navigating the unexpected freedom of having grown-up kids, but the chaos and hilarity that comes with motherhood never really leaves. Amy, struggling with the idea of “finding herself” after years of putting her kids first, is hilariously torn between trying to embrace self-care with a glass of wine in hand and the yoga mat underfoot. Her journey to rediscover her own identity is filled with awkward moments and relatable struggles that every mom can understand.

Meanwhile, Kiki can’t seem to let go of her kids, constantly FaceTiming them even though they’re clearly too busy to chat. Her need to stay connected with them borders on obsessive, with her phone always in hand and mom-themed gadgets surrounding her. Whether it’s sending the kids a “good morning” text at 10 a.m. or showing up uninvited to their new college dorm, Kiki’s neurotic behavior adds a perfect balance of humor to the mix, making it clear that her kids will always be her life, no matter how grown they get.

Carla, on the other hand, is embracing the freedom of an empty nest with full throttle energy. With a tequila bottle in hand and salsa moves ready to go, she’s the life of the party, proving that an empty nest is just another opportunity to live large. She’s a whirlwind of joy, unafraid to embrace the wild side of life, and her zest for life fuels the group’s adventures. Whether she’s showing up to a wellness retreat in Cabo with more tequila than mindfulness or taking over the dance floor in a salsa contest, Carla embodies the spirit of freedom and fun.

The moms embark on a spiritual wellness retreat in Cabo to “find themselves,” but as expected, chaos follows them every step of the way. From a run-in with a cartel member to a salsa dance-off that threatens to turn into a full-blown brawl, the moms’ retreat quickly transforms from a peaceful getaway to an unforgettable adventure. Amid the distractions and a series of unexpected events, the ladies prove that they still know how to have a good time—and that the bonds of friendship and motherhood are stronger than any wild experience that comes their way.

As the chaos continues to unfold, Amy, Kiki, and Carla discover that they’re not just learning to embrace their empty nests—they’re learning to embrace the next phase of their lives. The retreat serves as the perfect backdrop for self-discovery, where the ladies realize that it’s not about the kids growing up—it’s about rediscovering who they are as individuals and celebrating the freedom that comes with that. As they navigate the ups and downs of life after parenting, they come to realize that the journey of motherhood is never truly over. It just changes shape, and with the support of each other, they can conquer whatever life throws at them.

In the end, Bad Moms 3: The Empty Nest is a hilarious and heartwarming celebration of motherhood, friendship, and living life to the fullest, no matter how old your kids get. The ladies prove that the empty nest doesn’t mean an empty life—it means an opportunity to reinvent themselves and keep the fun alive. With plenty of tequila, dancing, and unforgettable moments, this film is a perfect reminder that age is just a number and there’s no such thing as too much fun when you’re surrounded by people who make you feel young at heart.

As the adventure continues, the trio of moms finds themselves facing more and more outlandish situations. The wellness retreat, originally intended for some much-needed relaxation and self-care, quickly becomes a whirlwind of misadventures. From Kiki’s disastrous attempt at meditation, where she accidentally starts a chant-off with other retreat guests, to Amy’s attempt to conquer her fears through “sacred” cliff diving (which, of course, ends in a hilarious plunge), the retreat turns out to be the farthest thing from peaceful. Their moments of introspection are interrupted by unexpected distractions—from impromptu dance-offs to a run-in with a group of rowdy vacationers who also happen to be on their own journey of self-discovery. It’s a chaotic comedy of errors, but the bond between the moms only grows stronger as they navigate each hilarious mishap together.

Amidst the chaos, the moms find moments of genuine connection. As the nights grow longer and the margaritas flow more freely, they sit together under the stars, reflecting on their lives. They share their hopes, their fears, and their frustrations with the emptiness that comes with the kids leaving the nest. These heartfelt conversations are filled with laughter and tears, reminding the audience that, while motherhood may change, the deep connection between mothers and their children, and between friends, is unbreakable. Through all the comical chaos, the moms learn that they don’t need to have everything figured out—they just need to keep supporting each other and embrace the unpredictable ride of life.

As the retreat comes to a close, the moms face one final, unexpected challenge. When a local festival turns into a larger-than-life fiesta, the trio is pulled into an epic finale filled with laughter, dance, and a little bit of chaos. But through the madness, Amy, Kiki, and Carla realize that the greatest adventure isn’t about chasing a perfect version of themselves—it’s about embracing the messiness and beauty of life as it comes. With their friendship stronger than ever, the moms return home, ready to face whatever the next chapter of their lives brings. Whether it’s dealing with adult children, new romantic relationships, or just embracing the freedom of an empty nest, they know one thing for sure: they’ve got each other’s backs—and that’s the greatest gift of all.
