"Back in Action" ends on a major cliffhanger, but will there actually be a sequel to the Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx-led action comedy? According to director Seth Gordon, the Netflix film's ending was conceived less as a guarantee and more as a hopeful wish.

Andrew Scott, Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close also star in Seth Gordon’s caper about a pair of retired undercover agents dragged back into the spy game along with their unknowing children.

Back In Action marks Jamie Foxx’s second Netflix release since being hospitalized after falling ill in April 2023. In December 2024, the Texas native released the Netflix comedy special, What Had Happened Was, his first stand-up film in over two decades.
