Kaamelott: Second Volume, Part 1 Opens in French Cinemas as Astier Expands His Saga

Early reviews point to polished craft with a fan‑focused design that stops at a first‑part endpoint.

Overview

  • Kaamelott – Deuxième volet (partie 1) opened nationwide in France on October 22, 2025.
  • Alexandre Astier says this chapter aims to build an entire world rather than a self‑contained story, with an emphasis on adventure.
  • The character Perceval is absent after actor Franck Pitiot left over a creative disagreement, a point Astier had to explain repeatedly during promotion.
  • Critics report that the signature humor remains but caution that newcomers may feel lost and that familiar beats reduce surprise.
  • Reviews praise the cinematography, visual effects, and notable guest appearances, and note a deliberately abrupt first‑part finish, with the next installment scheduled for November 11, 2026.
