How to watch the Weekend at Bernie's movies in order

Weekend at Bernie's is a dark-comedy cult favorite about two employees pretending their dead boss is still alive. The two films are a short, silly watch in order.
Weekend at Bernie's follows two young insurance employees who discover their boss dead and, to avoid trouble, spend a chaotic weekend pretending he's still alive. The absurd premise became a cult comedy, and a sequel took the gag to new, even more far-fetched heights.
π Release Order
Release order moves from the original beach-house farce to its sequel.
- Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
- Weekend at Bernie's II (1993)
The sequel picks up soon after the first film with the same duo, so the chronological order matches the release order.
π Story Chronology
Weekend at Bernie's II continues directly from the original, so story order follows release order.
- Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
- Weekend at Bernie's II (1993)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch Weekend at Bernie's first, then its sequel. The 1989 original is the cult classic that made the premise famous, while Weekend at Bernie's II doubles down on the absurdity with a voodoo twist. Since the sequel continues the same story, starting with the original gives you the setup and the running gag that define the franchise.
