(@TheCinesthetic) June 11, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n In keeping with Variety<\/a>, Sony Pictures is developing \u201c24 Jump Street,\u201d a sequel to 2012\u2019s \u201c21 Jump Street\u201d and 2014\u2019s \u201c22 Jump Street.\u201d Reports suggest that the unique stars, Hill, Tatum, and Ice Cube, are in talks to return, while Rodney Rothman is about to direct.<\/p>\n Rothman also co-wrote the script alongside Hill and Meghan Malloy. Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are expected to return to the R-rated crime-comedy franchise, alongside Neal H. Moritz, who can also be known for the \u201cFast & Furious\u201d movies.<\/p>\n Tatum and Reid Carolin are producing through Free Association, while Hill and Matt Dines are producing under their Strong Baby banner. Although plot details remain under wraps, Ice Cube is anticipated to reprise his role because the perpetually furious Captain Dickson.<\/p>\n Production timelines and a release date are expected to be announced later this yr once talent deals are finalized.<\/p>\n The \u201cJump Street\u201d franchise, adapted from the late-Eighties television series starring Johnny Depp, stays considered one of Sony\u2019s most successful comedy properties. It follows underachieving cops Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) as they go undercover to dismantle criminal operations.<\/p>\n The unique film grossed greater than $200 million<\/a> worldwide, while \u201c22 Jump Street\u201d exceeded expectations with a powerful $331 million global haul.<\/p>\n A 3rd installment, originally envisioned as a crossover with Sony\u2019s blockbuster \u201cMen in Black\u201d franchise, has spent greater than a decade in development. Nonetheless, persistent production issues have stalled the project, and with \u201c24 Jump Street\u201d now moving forward, Sony appears to have bypassed \u201c23 Jump Street\u201d altogether.<\/p>\n Last yr, Tatum offered insight into why \u201c23 Jump Street\u201d never materialized, despite describing its screenplay as \u201csincerely the very best script I\u2019ve ever read for me and Jonah [Hill].\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI get asked more about \u2018Jump Street 3\u2019 than another movie on the face of the planet that I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d Tatum said, per Variety<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019ll ever occur. The issue is the overhead. It could cost as much because the actual budget of the film, if no more, due to all of the producers involved. It\u2019s just too top-heavy. It falls over each time.\u201d<\/p>\n He said that he, Hill, Lord, and Miller were willing to scale back their fees to assist get the sequel made, but claimed Moritz\u2019s compensation demands remained a sticking point.<\/p>\n \u201c[Neal H. Moritz]\u2019s price for a producer fee is big,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd to be honest, that\u2019s what\u2019s killing it.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans quickly took to social media to query each the sequel\u2019s numbering and whether the problems that reportedly stalled \u201c23 Jump Street\u201d have finally been resolved.<\/p>\n \u201cJumping straight to 24, huh,\u201d one Reddit<\/a> user wrote. \u201cTatum said the film was struggling to get going because Neal H. Moritz had a really high fee. Is that finally solved?\u201d<\/p>\n One other added, \u201cLmao, did they skip 23 or is that this a typo? They need to\u2019ve finally gotten around Neal H. Moritz from allegedly holding up pre-production on account of his asking price. He was a producer on \u2018Scary Movie 6,\u2019 and that managed to have a surprisingly lower budget of $30 million.\u201d<\/p>\n A dissatisfied fan wrote, \u201cI\u2019ll never forgive them for not doing the MiB crossover. Schmitt and Jenko as Men in Black just writes itself.\u201d<\/p>\n Others were simply thrilled to see the franchise return, with one user declaring, \u201cComedy is back!!\u201d<\/p>\n Whether \u201c24 Jump Street\u201d ultimately reaches theaters stays to be seen. Since 2014, Sony has explored several franchise expansions<\/a> that never gained traction.<\/p>\n Amongst them was a female-led spin-off, written by \u201cBob\u2019s Burgers\u201d writers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, which was reportedly titled \u201cJump Street: Now for Her Pleasure\u201d and targeted for development in 2020.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, little has been heard concerning the project within the years since. In 2023, reports also suggested that Brie Larson could reprise her role as Molly Tracey from \u201c21 Jump Street,\u201d but those plans have likewise gone quiet.<\/p>\n Because of this, many fans remain cautiously optimistic until cameras are literally rolling on \u201c24 Jump Street.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
