Fans of awkward humor and teenage chaos have a lot to celebrate — “Superbad 2: Still Not Cool” is officially happening!
After years of rumors, the long-awaited sequel to the 2007 cult classic “Superbad” has been greenlit, and excitement is already through the roof.
Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are all returning to reprise their iconic roles as Evan, Seth, and McLovin. This time, the trio navigates adulthood’s bizarre challenges — from terrible jobs to disastrous relationships — proving that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean growing up. Joining the cast are young stars Jenna Ortega, Noah Jupe, and Rachel Sennott, introducing a new generation of misfit comedy.
The first official trailer, dropped just last week, immediately went viral. In just 48 hours, the trailer racked up over 15 million views across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, signaling massive fan interest. Critics are already praising the sequel’s tone for capturing the hilarious spirit of the original while updating it for a new era.
The reported production budget for “Superbad 2” is around $45 million, slightly higher than the first film’s modest $20 million budget back in 2007. Much of the new budget has been spent on high-end location shoots, comedic set pieces, and marketing, including a clever social media campaign that teased the movie months before the trailer even launched.
Sony Pictures has confirmed the movie is set for a July 3, 2026 theatrical release, strategically timed for the Fourth of July holiday weekend — a prime slot often reserved for blockbusters. Insiders predict “Superbad 2” could become one of the biggest comedy openings in recent years, thanks to nostalgia-driven fans and younger audiences discovering the original on streaming platforms.
With its hilarious cast, a proven creative team, and explosive early buzz, “Superbad 2: Still Not Cool” looks poised to deliver another unforgettable ride through bad decisions and epic laughs.
