2025 appears to signal a comeback for the sound of laughter in cinemas as comedies are aggressively trying to reclaim some theater space that had been dominated by blockbusters, franchises, and superhero films over the years. This summer witnessed the revival of “The Naked Gun” with Liam Neeson spearheading a reboot, while August will see the release of a romantic comedy titled “The Roses“. September brings us the return of Spinal Tap with a sequel to their classic mockumentary, “This is Spinal Tap“. Now another popular comedy is looking forward to returning to theaters with a new sequel in tow.
The talented team behind Broken Lizard, responsible for “Super Troopers”, has commenced filming on their latest movie, marking seven years since “Super Troopers 2” hit the big screens. As reported by Variety, Jay Chandrasekhar is set to take on dual roles, directing and playing Trooper Ramathorn, with a script written by the comedy group themselves. The rest of Broken Lizard will reprise their characters, joined once more by Brian Cox as Captain John O’Hagan and Marisa Coughlan as Ursula Hanson. Searchlight Pictures has officially confirmed this exciting news, acknowledging the long-standing bond between the comedy troupe and their studio.
For over two decades now, Broken Lizard has been part of our family at Searchlight Pictures, and we’re incredibly excited for the next installment in the Super Troopers series. This movie franchise has an exceptional knack for turning the absurd into the inevitable, and we can’t wait to embark on another journey with these unforgettable characters who spread joy and laughter wherever they go.
Chandrasekhar shared a similar enthusiasm and encouraged supporters to catch the movie in cinemas. “Broken Lizard is thrilled to assist in reviving theatrical comedy. To everyone in America, we propose: let’s grow our mustaches!
The Super Troopers Are Back
Initially, “The Super Troopers” movie gained a devoted following post its 2001 release by Fox Searchlight. Over time, various films and television projects emerged from the team, making it appear as though “Super Troopers” was a standalone comedy. However, in 2018, much to the delight of fans who had been waiting for years, the long-anticipated sequel finally came out, bringing an end to the ongoing speculation and setbacks surrounding the project.
In an interview with ComicBook in April 2023, Broken Lizard expressed optimism about starting film production by the end of the year. However, at that point, Chandrasekhar and another Broken Lizard member, Paul Soter, mentioned they were still in the middle of writing the script, which was only half-completed.
Chandrasekhar stated, ‘It’s looking promising.’ He mentioned they have completed 10 drafts and plan to work on another one after the current Quasi tour concludes. Therefore, it might be the next one.
“Usually, it’s sort of 20 is the minimum on drafts,” Soter adds. “But I’m hoping we accelerate it.”
The Broken Lizard team emphasized that the movie “Super Troopers” was initially envisioned as a three-part series, and now they’re working on wrapping up this storyline. In addition, Oscar winner Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford from “The Boys,” and Saturday Night Live star Andrew Dismukes have joined the cast for this project.
With the production of “Super Troopers 3” underway, moviegoers may enjoy the film in cinemas around 2026. Simultaneously, efforts are being made to revive the classic comedy “The Naked Gun” as well. We’ll be eagerly waiting to see if this comedy resurgence proves successful.
Right now, you can stream the movie “Super Troopers” on both Hulu and Disney+ via their shared offerings. As for “Super Troopers 2”, it’s currently available for rental on various platforms. However, you might find it becoming more widely accessible soon.
