Justin Theroux was back in the new trailer for the second season of his Apple TV+ series The Mosquito Coast.
The show, which is based on the novel of the same name by Theroux’s uncle Paul Theroux, features the actor as Allie Fox, an idealistic American inventor who is on the run from the National Security Agency (NSA) after turning to ecoterrorism to advance his ideals.
In the season two trailer, Allie and his wife Margot (Melissa George) have escaped from Mexico and made it to a refuge in the Guatemalan jungle, but drug cartels pose an even greater threat to their safety than the American authorities chasing them.
Take two: Justin Theroux stars in the trailer for season two of his Apple TV+ series The Mosquito Coast, released on Wednesday
‘We’ve made it,’ Allie says in voiceover at the start of the trailer as a succession of images shows him and his family cruising on a riverboat through an alligator-infested jungle.
He and his family, including his wife Margot, daughter Dina (Logan Polish) and son Charlie (Gabriel Bateman) are seen stepping off the boat at a dock at night to dramatic music, suggesting they have finally found a new home.
Suddenly, flood lights turn on, revealing that they are in an encampment, the closest thing to society that they have seen in quite some time.

‘Everything’s gonna be different from now on,’ Allie says to soothe Margot while his children explore the village.
But Margot doesn’t seem to be onboard with Allie’s plans.
‘You want to make this a home — whether we like it or not,’ she snarls at him in a scene back on the boat.
Back in the village, Allie is embraced by a woman who appears to be an old friend, played by Natalia Cordova-Buckley.
‘It took a long time for this place to find its footing,’ she tells him. ‘And I took a very personal risk bringing you here, Allie.
She adds, ‘Please, don’t make me regret that choice.’

The trailer cuts to Allie’s family exploring the jungle.
‘You don’t wanna stay here with me,’ he says in voiceover. ‘I just wanna keep everyone safe.’
Margot doesn’t seem to trust him though, especially after they’re stuck sailing in the midst of a dangerous nighttime storm.
‘Look at you,’ she seethes. ‘You think you’ve got all the answers.’

Footage of the couple’s son Charlie taking a shower is the intercut with images of cartel members loading handguns in preparation for some kind of attack.
‘People don’t change, Allie. They just reveal themselves over time,’ Margot says.
Charlie then runs through the jungle amid a rain shower while armed men chase him.
‘We need to leave,’ says Dina in the next scene, but Margot says they’re involved in ‘something we can never come back from.’
