Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s Best Comedy Is Making a Comeback

After over a decade since the last sequel, a third installment of the 21 Jump Street franchise is officially in development. According to Variety, the long-awaited follow-up to 22 Jump Street is moving closer to production, with stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill expected to reprise their roles.

The original 2012 film, a comedic reboot of the 1980s TV series, saw undercover cops Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) pose as high school students. Its 2014 sequel, 22 Jump Street, sent the duo to college, famously ending with a meta-joke teasing multiple future sequels. The new project aims to finally deliver on that promise.

Key details about the plot remain under wraps, but the article hints at the return of the franchise’s signature blend of:

  • Raucous humor involving “Korean Jesus” gags
  • Dangerous new drugs as a plot device
  • Plenty of laughs between the mismatched partners

With both Hill and Tatum attached, fans are eager to see how the franchise evolves, possibly exploring new settings or revisiting old ones. No director or release date has been confirmed yet, but the news marks a major step forward for one of the most beloved comedy series of the 2010s.
