Gabriels rapture part 2 movie release date 2023

The Gabriel’s Inferno film series based on the books of the same name by Sylvain Reynard has been one of our favorite book to screen adaptations that Passionflix has done. We do enjoy a few others as well but Julia and Gabriel’s love story is the one we keep coming back for. Since the film series directed by Passionflix founder Tosca Musk began, we’ve devoured every single one.

So far we’ve had four films already (Gabriel’s Inferno: Part I, Gabriel’s Inferno: Part II, Gabriel’s Inferno: Part III, Gabriel’s Rapture: Part I) and are now about to get the fifth film which is you guessed it, Gabriel’s Rapture: Part II. The official trailer was finally released and it has given us all the feels.

Gabriel’s Rapture: Part I ended on a cliffhanger with Julia’s (Melanie Zanetti) classmate and nemesis Christa Peterson (Margaux Brooke) trying to get info on the woman in Gabriel’s (Giulio Berruti) life who just happens to be Julia. Julia and Gabriel have returned from a romantic Italian getaway and with that return comes reality slapping them right in the face. In Gabriel’s Rapture: Part II we will see Julia and Gabriel come against obstacles that want to tear them apart. As someone who read the book I can honestly say we are in for an emotional rollercoaster.

This trailer gave us so much and I may have been in literal tears watching it. From the score to the clips we were given, I loved everything about it and am now counting down the days to this movie even more. I don’t know about you but I plan on doing a re-watch of all the Gabriel films until this one comes out.

Gabriel’s Rapture: Part II hits Passionflix on March 24th.

Cassie is drowning in medical bills after being diagnosed with diabetes. When she runs into her old friend Frankie, now enlisted in the Army, she proposes a deal: she’ll marry him in exchange for better medical insurance and they can split the increased paycheck that comes with having a “family.”

When Frankie declines, Luke volunteers to marry Cassie instead. What she doesn’t know is that he has desperate reasons of his own to get married.

But when a city woman buys the spread next door, Boone’s peace and quiet are in serious jeopardy.

With a marriage and a career painfully behind her, Tara Kendall is determined to start over in Parable.

Reinventing herself and living a girlhood dream are worth the hard work. Sure, she might need help from her handsome, wary neighbor.

Emmanuelle Vaugier and Kavan Smith star in this book to movie adaptation on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
