Interesting facts

Table for Six 2 is a 2024 Hong Kong comedy film directed and written by Sunny Chan. The film is a sequel to Table for Six (2022), with Stephy Tang, Louis Cheung, Ivana Wong, Lin Min Chen, and Peter Chan reprising their roles, though Dayo Wong, the lead actor from the first film, does not return for undisclosed reasons. It is set two years after the first film, and revolves around three wedding banquets for the Chan family, as the members navigate the meaning of love and family bonding in the absence of their eldest brother.

Production

Due to the commercial success of Table for Six (2022), which had held the record for the second highest-grossing Hong Kong film of all time, director-screenwriter Sunny Chan planned to produce a sequel before the end of its theatrical run. Chan began writing the screenplay in February 2023, following the stage play adaptation of the first film, describing the creative process as "rushed".

On 3 November, a press conference was held with Louis Cheung, Stephy Tang, Peter Chan, Ivana Wong, and Lin Min Chen in attendance, confirming their return to their roles, while Dayo Wong, the lead actor from the first film, was confirmed not to return for the sequel.

Principal photography began in July 2023, with Irving Cheung returning as the production designer. Since Table for Six 2 was entirely structured around three wedding scenes, the crew decided to forgo the main set used in an industrial building in Ngau Tau Kok from the first film and scouted new locations to accommodate the wedding banquets. The entire filming was carried out in secret, with no public announcements made.

Table for Six 2 features a score by Alan Wong and Janet Yung. The film's theme song "I Love You So Much" was composed and performed by lead actress Ivana Wong, with lyrics written by director-screenwriter Sunny Chan. Wong, who also composed the theme song for Table for Six, described this new song as a "lyrical song" conveying a message of honesty in relationships, in contrast to the previous rock song.
