Macaulay Culkin Floats Father-Son ‘Home Alone’ Sequel, Says He’d Return If It’s “Just Right”

No film is in development despite renewed attention to his tour pitch.

Overview

  • During his A Nostalgic Night live show, the 45-year-old outlined a flipped premise with an adult Kevin locked out while his son rigs the house with traps.
  • He framed the home as a metaphor for a strained relationship, saying Kevin would try to be "let back into his son’s heart."
  • Culkin stressed he is "not completely allergic" to returning, but any project would need to be "just right."
  • The concept has drawn wide media pickup and fan interest, yet there is no script, studio attachment, or production timeline.
  • Original director Chris Columbus has said reviving the franchise would be a mistake; Culkin recently revisited Kevin in Home Instead’s 35th‑anniversary ads after later sequels and a 2021 Disney+ entry fared poorly.
