Filmmakers Daniel Ennett and Frederick Kroetsch have announced the release of the second season of their documentary series, Crip Trip [1].
The series highlights the realities of travel for individuals with disabilities. By documenting a road trip between two friends, one of whom uses a wheelchair, the project provides a visual narrative of the logistical and social hurdles associated with accessible tourism.
Reports on the release timing vary between sources. A press release issued from Toronto, Canada, was dated April 8, 2026 [2]. However, a subsequent announcement via CTV Edmonton was published on April 27, 2026 [1].
While the general premise focuses on the buddy-movie dynamic of the two leads, some promotional materials specifically reference Las Vegas as a destination for the second season [2]. The series aims to promote a perspective on disability that blends personal friendship with the practical challenges of navigating public spaces.
The project continues to explore the intersection of friendship and mobility. By framing the experience as a classic buddy movie, Ennett and Kroetsch shift the focus from the clinical aspects of disability to the lived experience of adventure and companionship.
The production emphasizes the importance of visibility for wheelchair users in media. Through the lens of a road trip, the creators document the gap between theoretical accessibility and the actual experience of travelers in various cities.
“Crip Trip is a documentary series about two friends, one in a wheelchair, taking a road trip.”
The release of Crip Trip season 2 contributes to a growing body of independent media focusing on disability representation. By utilizing a road-trip format, the filmmakers move beyond static depictions of disability, instead highlighting the systemic infrastructure failures and successes of urban accessibility in North America.
