Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is a 2025 American mockumentary comedy film directed by Rob Reiner.

Plot

Around forty years after the first film, director Martin "Marty" DiBergi creates a documentary of the reunion/final show of legendary rock band Spın̈al Tap, including original members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls. He visits Hope Faith, the daughter of Spın̈al Tap's original manager Ian Faith, and finds that she inherited a contract requiring Tap to perform one more concert. Marty goes on to reunite with Nigel, former Tap lead guitarist, who now runs a cheese-and-guitar shop with girlfriend Moira and plays guitar in a local folk band. Marty then goes to David, former Tap guitarist/lead singer, who produces music for true-crime podcasts and on-hold phone music. David's wife, Jeanine, has become a nun. Marty finally visits Derek, former Tap bassist, now curator of a glue museum (Derek gets a glue-bottle stuck up his nose), who has composed a symphonic work called "Hell Toupee". Although tension exists between Nigel and David, the trio agree to perform once more, though they need a drummer, as all their previous ones mysteriously died. They discuss how although the band has not performed for 15 years, interest in their music has increased after a video of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performing Tap's "Big Bottom" went viral.
