Overview

• The long‑awaited sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, is now playing in U.S. theaters following its Sept. 12 release by Bleecker Street.
• Rob Reiner returns behind the camera as Marty DiBergi, with Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer back as the band’s core trio.
• Coverage highlights high‑profile musician cameos, with outlets noting appearances by Elton John and Paul McCartney.
• Early critical reactions raise concerns that the film leans on callbacks and reverence for the original rather than offering fresh satire, as exemplified by an A.V. Club critique.
• Media interviews and promotional features, including segments from ABC7 and WGN, position the film as a reunion update on the band within the mockumentary format.
