The Dukes of Hazzard 2 (2025) brings back the high-octane mischief, Southern charm, and good ol’ boy spirit of the classic franchise, delivering a modern sequel that blends nostalgia with outrageous new adventures. With the General Lee roaring back onto the backroads, the Dukes prove that family, freedom, and fast cars never go out of style.
The story kicks off with cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke Duke (Johnny Knoxville) returning to Hazzard County after years away, only to find their hometown under siege by corporate developers led by the slick and corrupt Boss Hogg’s nephew. Determined to turn Hazzard into a tourist trap and cash cow, the new villain threatens to bulldoze family farms—including Uncle Jesse’s land—unless the Dukes and their friends can stop him.
Of course, nothing in Hazzard comes easy. Daisy (Jessica Simpson) is back, as fiery and fearless as ever, leading her own fight to preserve the community while reminding the boys that brains and beauty can be just as powerful as horsepower. Cooter, the loyal mechanic, provides comic relief and ingenious upgrades to the General Lee, ensuring the iconic orange Dodge Charger is ready for stunts, races, and impossible escapes.
The sequel delivers everything fans love: outrageous car chases through dirt roads and small-town streets, explosive stunts, and slapstick run-ins with bumbling lawmen Rosco and Enos. The humor is broad and rowdy, but the heart of the story is about family loyalty, small-town pride, and refusing to let greed trample tradition.
New faces join the mix, including a group of young Hazzard locals who look up to the Dukes as legends. Their presence adds both comedy and heart, creating a generational bridge as the torch of rebellion, resilience, and wild fun is passed forward. Along the way, Bo and Luke grapple with growing older while realizing some things—like friendship, freedom, and a good race down a dirt road—never change.
By its conclusion, The Dukes of Hazzard 2 (2025) is a pedal-to-the-metal ride filled with laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of high-flying stunts. It honors the legacy of the original series and film while reintroducing the Dukes’ infectious spirit of mischief to a new generation. In Hazzard County, family comes first, villains get their comeuppance, and there’s always another wild chase waiting just around the bend.
