Ben Affleck Returns in High-Stakes Sequel ‘The Accountant 2’ on Prime Video
If you’ve been waiting for a solid sequel that brings back the thrills, tension, and action-packed intensity of a modern crime thriller, get ready— The Accountant 2 is finally here. Streaming exclusively on Prime Video starting June 5, this long-anticipated follow-up to the 2016 hit The Accountant once again features Ben Affleck in the role of Christian Wolff, a highly skilled and mysterious CPA with autism and a hidden life as a forensic genius who’s no stranger to danger.
This time around, the stakes are even higher. The plot kicks off when one of Christian’s former associates turns up dead, leaving behind a cryptic message: “find the accountant.” It’s the kind of puzzle Christian is made for—but he’s not going in alone. He calls in his estranged and equally deadly brother, Braxton (played by Jon Bernthal), to help track down the killer and uncover the truth behind the murder. What they stumble into is far more dangerous than either of them expected: a deep, intricate conspiracy tied to powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden.

With returning cast members including J.K. Simmons as Raymond King and Cynthia Addai-Robinson reprising her role as Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina, The Accountant 2 brings back the familiar faces we loved from the first film, while introducing new characters and fresh intrigue. The film builds on the original’s unique blend of cerebral plot and hard-hitting action, but with a noticeable twist—this time, it leans more into brotherhood and personal stakes than spreadsheets and ledgers.
Critics are calling it a mixed but mostly satisfying ride. USA TODAY gave it ★★½ out of four, describing it as “a crime thriller sequel that’s not as winning but still mostly satisfying.” And while it may subtract some of the original’s brainy math-based appeal, it doubles down on emotional stakes, family ties, and relentless momentum.
If you're a Prime Video subscriber, you can start streaming The Accountant 2 on June 5. The first movie is also available on the platform, so it’s easy to revisit Christian Wolff’s earlier exploits before diving into this next chapter. For those without a subscription, Amazon offers options to rent or buy without needing a full Prime membership.
Whether you're in it for the action, the mystery, or just to watch Affleck and Bernthal wreak calculated havoc, The Accountant 2 promises a gripping watch that blends cold logic with high emotion. Don't miss it.
