The end of the world was just the beginning. Now, survival is the destination. Premiering on April 24 exclusively on Lionsgate Play, Greenland: Migration takes audiences deeper into a gripping post-apocalyptic journey where resilience, family, and the search for safety collide. Picking up after the catastrophic comet event, the Garrity family leaves the safety of Greenland’s bunkers to embark on a perilous migration across a devastated world in search of a new home.

Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin on their characters


Led by Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, and Roman Griffin Davis, the film expands its emotional core while raising the stakes with new characters, unexpected alliances, and escalating dangers.



Talking about his character John’s role in the bunker, Gerard Butler said, “He's able to build things, he's able to fix things, and that's been his job in this community, keeping a lot of those things going in the bunker. He also has taken it upon himself, which is a bit of a sacrifice, basically, because whenever you go out into the elements, even if you have a suit on, you're still getting pummeled with radiation, you're still getting a leakage of pollution into your lungs. But he goes out and he scavenges and he finds things that will help them back down in the bunker to fix things, whether it's a spanner or a pipe or whatever he can get."

Speaking about her character Alison, Morena Baccarin said, "Alison is, I guess, much like myself, a no-BSer. She really doesn't beat around the bush. She's somebody that's fiercely protective of her family and really very driven to be a good person, a good member of the community. I really loved how strong Alison was, how she wasn't a damsel in distress, that she was fighting for her family and her survival and her kid. I think it's very interesting to see a very sort of, quote unquote, normal family going through extraordinary circumstances in a way that a lot of people in the world go through and don't necessarily get highlighted."

Director's take

Talking about the film’s themes, director Ric Roman Waugh said, “Greenland: Migration is the next chapter of the Garrity family. It explores survival, legacy, and what we pass on to future generations. It’s about not just surviving, but also what we leave behind.”

Roman Griffin Davis shared what drew him to the sequel, “I enjoyed the first film, but what interested me more was my character’s journey. It was also an opportunity to work with a great team. Disaster films resonate because they reflect extreme versions of real-world struggles.”
