'The Family Stallone' Heads To Florida And Italy In Season 2; Sets February Premiere Date


Paramount+ is inviting audiences back to The Family Stallone for its second season on February 21. That date is for the United States Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Latin America and Brazil. However, while the former four will get all ten episodes at once, international audiences, including France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and South Korea the next day, February 22, will be getting the episodes on a weekly release model.

Distance wont keep this family apart for long however as the family goes on a life-changing trip to Italy to explore their history, rekindle love and make a lifetime of memories to finish off the season.

Season 1 will be making its linear debut February 7 on MTV, airing 4 episodes that week and the next. The first two second season episodes will also be getting their linear premieres there, on Wednesday, February 21 and Thursday, February 22. The Family Stallone premiered in May 2023 and was renewed for this second season just a week later. It is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, with Benjamin Hurvitz and Nadim Amiry as executive producers. Julie Pizzi, Farnaz Farjam and Jonathan Singer serve as executive producers for Bunim-Murray Productions with Chris Ray and Jason Williams as co-executive producers.
