Death Becomes Her 2: Forever Flawless (2026) takes the outrageous rivalry between Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) and Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn) to a whole new level, blending high-fashion, dark comedy, and immortal chaos in a way only this iconic duo can deliver. The film reunites the glamorous, over-the-top characters for a hilariously twisted adventure, where their quest for eternal youth brings them face-to-face with new horrors and even more absurd beauty rituals. With the return of Lisle Von Rhuman (Isabella Rossellini) and the addition of the charming, enigmatic Dr. Julian Thorne (Ryan Gosling), this sequel promises a riotous mix of fashion, fear, and fatal beauty.
Picking up where the first film left off, Madeline and Helen’s bodies may still be held together by duct tape, glue, and sheer willpower, but their rivalry has only grown more intense. Both women, now even more desperate to maintain their youthful beauty, find themselves locked in an eternal battle against Father Time and the consequences of their reckless immortality. The world of high fashion and beauty becomes their battleground, where every wrinkle and imperfection is a new cause for war, leading to some truly hilarious, jaw-dropping moments.
Enter Dr. Julian Thorne, a dashing and mysterious figure with a hidden agenda. Played by Ryan Gosling, Thorne’s arrival introduces a new layer of intrigue as he offers his services to the aging women, promising a new potion—Potion 2.0—that could restore their youth even more permanently than before. But as is often the case in the world of Death Becomes Her, nothing comes without a dark cost. The potion may offer eternal youth, but it also brings an array of dangerous, uncontrollable consequences. This leads Madeline and Helen to question whether the quest for perfection is worth the toll it takes on their souls.
Meanwhile, Lisle Von Rhuman, ever the mysterious and ominous figure, returns with her own agenda. Having experienced the effects of immortality firsthand, Lisle now holds the key to the mysterious Potion 2.0, and she’s more than happy to watch her former clients fight for it—while secretly plotting her next move. Her calculated presence adds an unsettling layer of danger to an otherwise glamour-filled world, and her power in the battle for eternal youth is more ominous than ever.
As the film progresses, the absurdity of the beauty-obsessed world these women inhabit reaches new, laugh-out-loud heights. With bodies literally falling apart, Madeline and Helen’s attempts to maintain their flawless appearances escalate into chaotic disaster. From fashion mishaps to body horror in the most comedic sense, Death Becomes Her 2 constantly keeps the audience laughing and gasping in equal measure. What could be more fitting than two women clinging desperately to their beauty, even as their bodies decay in every possible way?
At its core, Death Becomes Her 2 explores the price of vanity and the lengths we go to for immortality, all while keeping things delightfully ridiculous and fun. As Madeline and Helen try to one-up each other, they are forced to confront the true cost of their rivalry and obsession with perfection. Can beauty truly be eternal, or is the pursuit of it what ultimately destroys them?
The blend of glamour, chaos, and eternal youth is what makes Death Becomes Her 2 such a hilarious, captivating ride. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn reprise their roles with the perfect mix of ridiculousness and vulnerability, making their characters as lovable as they are insane. Isabella Rossellini’s return as Lisle adds an extra layer of sophistication and mystery, while Ryan Gosling’s Dr. Thorne provides the perfect balance of charm and danger.
In the end, Death Becomes Her 2: Forever Flawless is a riotous, fashion-forward horror-comedy that proves once again that beauty is fleeting—but the chaos it creates is forever.
