The official trailer for Florian Zeller's upcoming movie "The Son", the follow-up to "The Father", has been unveiled.

"The Father" shed light on the devastating emotional impact of dementia and earned Hopkins the best actor Oscar for his lead performance.

See-Saw Films will produce the movie along with Lain Canning, Emile Sherman, Christophe Spadone, and Zeller.

The movie also stars Hugh Jackman, Laura Dean, Vanessa Kirby, and Zen MacGrath.

Zeller and "The Father" co-writer Christopher Hampton adapted "The Son" from Zeller’s acclaimed stage play.

“The Son” originally debuted onstage in Paris in 2018 before moving to London’s West End in 2019 to rave reviews.

The play was one part of a trilogy by Zeller, which includes "The Father". The third play in the trilogy is "The Mother".

“The Son” focuses on adolescent depression, and follows Peter (Jackman) as his busy life with his new partner Emma and baby gets unsettled by the arrival of his ex-wife, Kate (Dern), and their troubled and angry teenage son, Nicholas (MacGrath).

Peter searches to help his son with intimate and instinctive moments of family happiness to solve what Nicholas is going through.

The trailer gives a heartbreaking look at the dual struggle of both Nicholas and Peter, and how pain and trauma unfold across generations, despite effort and love.

It showcases Jackman's raw and vulnerable performance and gave a glimpse at Anthony Hopkins' second collaboration with Zeller.

Hopkins reprises his role from "The Father" in "The Son".

"The Son" will be released to theaters on November 25.
