The Goonies Return to Skull Cove 2026
Starring Sean Astin Josh Brolin Jeff Cohen
The Goonies are grown but the spirit of adventure has never left them. The Goonies Return to Skull Cove takes place decades after their legendary journey beneath Astoria, a journey that shaped their lives even as they moved into adulthood. Now a new mystery rises from the tides and pulls them back into the world they thought they had left behind.
Mikey, played once again by Sean Astin, is now a dedicated history teacher who still believes that extraordinary discoveries wait just beyond the edges of everyday life. When a strange artifact marked with the unmistakable symbol of One Eyed Willy washes ashore, Mikey instantly recognizes it as a sign that their childhood quest is far from over. The object hints at an unexplored part of Willys pirate legacy, one that even the original Goonies never uncovered.
Brand, portrayed by Josh Brolin, has tried to live a stable and responsible life. Yet he quickly finds himself dragged back into danger alongside his brother. Though reluctant at first, he cannot deny the old thrill of setting off on a quest where every step could lead to either treasure or disaster. Chunk, played by Jeff Cohen, is now a lawyer who has lost none of his enthusiasm but possesses absolutely no field skills. His attempts to keep up with the chaos bring humor to every moment, even as the stakes rise.
The real spark of adventure begins when Mikeys daughter and her group of modern misfits discover a hidden cave system beneath the coastline. What they find is astonishing an untouched part of Willys forgotten empire filled with symbols, tunnels, and clues that point toward one final treasure. This discovery does not remain secret for long. A ruthless treasure hunting syndicate learns of the find and sets out to claim Willys legacy for themselves.
The old Goonies must join forces with the next generation to stay ahead of their enemies. Together they solve intricate riddles left behind by the pirate captain, navigate traps meant to keep intruders away, and cross through cursed tunnels that test every ounce of their courage. Their journey leads them across forgotten coves and into the heart of a pirate ship that was never meant to be seen again. The dangers they face are greater than anything from their youth, but the bond that made them heroes once still burns strong.
Filled with nostalgia humor and heart pounding excitement, The Goonies Return to Skull Cove celebrates the idea that adventure never truly ends as long as someone is brave enough to follow the clues. It brings the legacy of One Eyed Willy into a new era while honoring the spirit of friendship that made the original story unforgettable.
Because no matter how old they get and no matter how tough the journey becomes, one truth always remains
Goonies never say die.
