A heartwarming and powerful story of love, family, and resilience returns in Daddy’s Little Girls (2026). Starring Gabrielle Union, Idris Elba, and rising stars China Anne McClain and Lauryn Alisa McClain, this sequel continues the emotional journey of a father’s unwavering commitment to his daughters in a world that too often tries to tear them apart.
Trailer Breakdown
The trailer opens on a quiet morning in a cozy suburban home. Monty (Idris Elba), now a successful mechanic and father, wakes up early to make pancakes for his two daughters, Lauryn (Lauryn Alisa McClain) and China (China Anne McClain). The camera captures their tender family moments—laughter, hugs, and the warmth of a father who cherishes every second.
But as Monty and his daughters prepare for a new chapter in their lives, the trailer quickly reveals that life is never without challenges. A chance meeting with Julia (Gabrielle Union), a strong-willed lawyer, sparks a partnership that could change everything for Monty and his family. She’s not just helping him get custody of his daughters; she’s fighting to ensure their future is protected from those who would seek to exploit them.
A fierce love: The story dives into Monty’s determination to be there for his daughters—no matter what it takes. “I’ll move mountains for you, Lauryn. For both of you,” he says, as the trailer shows a montage of him fighting legal battles, picking them up from school, and standing up to an unjust system.
New obstacles: Monty’s past rears its ugly head in the form of old enemies who threaten to take his daughters away from him. Meanwhile, Julia faces her own battles, as her connection with Monty grows and leads to moments of deep, transformative love and mutual respect.
Family strength: The girls—Lauryn and China—have their own moments to shine, as they navigate the challenges of growing up in a world that doesn’t always make space for their dreams. The bond they share with their father strengthens through their struggles, culminating in a powerful moment where they stand united, ready to face whatever comes next.
The trailer concludes with a stirring, emotional scene: Monty looking at his daughters, whispering, “We’re gonna be alright. Together.”
With a powerful narrative about the ties that bind, Daddy’s Little Girls continues to explore themes of love, sacrifice, and the lengths a father will go to protect his family.
Love is the strongest force in the world.
