Director Andrew Erwin said, “’I Can Only Imagine’ was such a defining moment seven years ago. I never dreamed there was more story to tell—until we heard the story behind MercyMe’s hit ‘Even If.’”
Ewrin shared how the sequel came about. “Learning how Tim Timmons and Bart Millard co-wrote that song out of deep-lived faith moved us to tears; the honesty and hope woven through each of their journeys is undeniable,” he said. “Brent and I knew immediately that ‘I Can Only Imagine’ truly deserved a sequel.”
“Returning to the world of ‘Imagine’ has been a deeply personal and profoundly moving journey—for me and for so many who helped bring this uplifting story to life,” director Brent McCorkle said. “Its themes of finding gratitude in our grief and discovering beauty that rises from ashes feel more relevant now than ever.”
“Watching this chapter of Bart and Tim’s story unfold for the big screen has been an honor,” said McCorkle. “I can’t wait for audiences everywhere to experience it this February.”
