Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend (2020) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend (2020), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

The film toys with viewer choice, offering a range of possible endings that push the story forward in different directions. Early conclusions loop back to new decisions, gradually shaping a final arc that centers on a high-stakes journey and a wedding that brings several lives into focus.

At the heart of the tale is Kimmy Schmidt, now a hugely successful children’s author, who plans her wedding to Prince Frederick Windsor, a royal figure who sits thirteenth in line to the throne of England. Joining her on this path are her close friends Titus Andromedon, Lillian Kaushtupper, and Jacqueline White. While rummaging through her backpack, Kimmy discovers a hidden Choose Your Own Adventure–style book that doesn’t belong to her, and this discovery nudges the group toward answers that lie beyond the wedding preparations.

Driven by curiosity and a sense of unfinished business, the quartet travels to Durnsville, Indiana, to question the man who kept Kimmy captive for fifteen years: Richard Wayne Gary Wayne. He has a surprising reveal in store—a second underground bunker that had remained concealed. The moment underscores how fragile memory and secrets can be, and it sets in motion a race to uncover the buried locations before danger closes in. Richard’s escape from prison adds another layer of urgency, as Kimmy and her companions push forward to locate the bunker and safeguard those who may still be in danger.

As the investigation deepens, Kimmy and her allies find themselves separated from one another at times, adding tension and suspense to the pursuit. Kimmy ultimately corners Richard, who trips on a branch and injures his ankle. Although he claims he cannot remember where the bunker is, she takes care to fashion him a splint and guide him back toward safety—only to discover the hidden door to the underground refuge and the women who have been held inside for years.

With the bunker finally found and its captives freed, the story pivots toward a festive, if complicated, culmination. Kimmy and Prince Frederick Windsor marry in a ceremony that is officiated by the former stepdaughter of Jacqueline, Xanthippe Voorhees. The wedding thread adds a note of irony and resilience to the tale, reflecting the resilience of Kimmy and her community.

As the narrative choices converge toward their own endings, Kimmy’s future takes a further turn when she reveals a personal surprise: she is pregnant. The celebration gains an unexpected echo when Kim Jong-un, Frederick’s schoolmate, arrives to join in the jubilant moment, highlighting the film’s blend of whimsy and high-stakes drama.

Overall, the film crafts a rich, multi-path experience where data points from Kimmy’s past collide with a present that tests loyalty, courage, and love. The result is a lengthy, character-driven tale that remains true to its core while offering fresh paths, new revelations, and a finale that reflects the choices viewers have made along the way.
