This holiday season, TYLER PERRY’S HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN CHICAGO (2026) puts a fresh, hilarious spin on the beloved family comedy, bringing back the iconic premise of a young child accidentally left behind during a family trip, but with a whole new level of chaos, humor, and heart. Buckle up for a wild ride through the windy city as a lovable and mischievous new protagonist makes the most out of a situation that no one could have ever predicted.
In this hilarious twist on the classic Home Alone franchise, we meet Marcus (played by an up-and-coming child star), a clever and resourceful young boy whose family is about to embark on a holiday trip to Chicago. But, as luck would have it, chaos strikes, and Marcus ends up left behind at the family’s suburban home, all while his family is rushing to the airport. However, this isn’t just any Christmas getaway—Marcus’s family is headed to Chicago for a lavish event that Marcus never wanted to attend in the first place. Now, in the comfort of his own home, Marcus is free to enjoy the city without the stress of family obligations. Or so he thinks.
What follows is a whirlwind of hilariously chaotic moments as Marcus attempts to not only survive the holiday on his own but thrive in the midst of his newfound independence. From raiding the kitchen for snacks to building his own makeshift holiday kingdom, Marcus’s creativity knows no bounds. However, his newfound freedom quickly turns into an unexpected adventure when he unwittingly gets entangled in a series of misadventures involving a pair of bumbling burglars (played by some comedic stars), a mischievous pet, and even a famous local street performer.
At the heart of the film is the dynamic between Marcus and his two very different “antagonists.” The burglars, a comical duo on a mission to steal from the lavish homes of the rich and famous, have their sights set on Marcus’s house. However, little do they know that Marcus is no ordinary child. Using his sharp wit and a variety of unconventional methods, Marcus sets up a series of traps that would make any seasoned Home Alone fan proud, leading to laugh-out-loud moments and physical gags that recall the best of the classic franchise. But unlike the original films, this time around, Marcus has a different set of tools to work with—his trusty smartphone, a sharp sense of humor, and, of course, his own unique set of skills that come in handy as he outsmarts the burglars at every turn.
Enter Madea (played by Tyler Perry, of course), who just so happens to be in the neighborhood visiting a relative. Her arrival brings a whole new layer of hilarity to the chaos. What begins as a random, albeit delightful, visit from Madea turns into a full-on partnership as she teams up with Marcus to make sure that no one is getting away with anything—whether it’s a bag of chips or a million-dollar jewelry heist. As Madea’s signature brand of tough love and comedic genius takes over, she teaches Marcus some valuable lessons on life, family, and what it really means to “get back at people” in the most entertaining way possible.
The action sequences in TYLER PERRY’S HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN CHICAGO are as slapstick as they come, with Marcus and Madea’s teamwork proving to be an unstoppable force. From elaborate traps that utilize everyday household items to booby traps involving the entire neighborhood, the chaos builds to a thrilling and, of course, ridiculously funny crescendo. Fans of the original Home Alone films will appreciate the playful nods to iconic traps, but Tyler Perry adds his own distinct comedic style, injecting heart and hilarious twists that elevate the entire experience.
While the laughs are plenty, TYLER PERRY’S HOME ALONE 2 is also filled with heartwarming moments that remind us of the true spirit of the holiday season. Amidst all the hijinks, Marcus learns the importance of family, kindness, and never giving up—whether it’s on his Christmas decorations or keeping the burglars at bay. And of course, Madea’s wisdom rings through as she helps Marcus realize that even in the craziest situations, love, resilience, and creativity can lead you to solutions that surprise everyone.
Visually, the film captures the festive spirit of the holiday season. From the sparkling lights of Chicago’s winter streets to the warm and cozy interiors of Marcus’s home, the set design and cinematography highlight the contrast between Marcus’s cozy suburban life and the hustle and bustle of the city. The soundtrack adds to the holiday cheer, blending classic Christmas music with modern beats that give the film a fresh and fun vibe, making it a perfect addition to your holiday watchlist.
By the end of TYLER PERRY’S HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN CHICAGO, Marcus has not only outsmarted the burglars but also gained a new sense of confidence, realizing that while being “home alone” might have its challenges, it can also be a time for growth, adventure, and unexpected friendships. And with Madea’s timeless wisdom and hilarious antics, this Christmas isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving.
This reimagining of the beloved Home Alone classic brings together two things we know and love—holiday cheer and Tyler Perry’s trademark humor—to create a film that will have you laughing from start to finish.
