As for the plot, "It's 10 years later and most of it is set in Europe," Stiller told Empire. Stiller, the film's director, teamed up with Justin Theroux, Nicholas Stoller, John Hamburg and Drake Sather to write the script. 

"I don't want to give away too much, but it's basically Derek and Hansel 10 years later — though the last movie ended on a happy note, a lot of things have happened in the meantime," Stiller added in the interview with Empire. "Their lives have changed, and they're not really relevant anymore. It's a new world for them."
