What Happened to '23 Jump Street'?
The Hollywood Reporter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube are set to star in the upcoming third installment of the Jump Street franchise, titled "24 Jump Street," despite the previous film being "22 Jump Street."
- The unusual jump in numbering skips "23 Jump Street," which may be a meta joke reflecting the franchise's self-aware humor, including a 2014 film scene hinting at condominiums replacing the previous undercover headquarters.
- Producer Neal H. Moritz hinted on Instagram that the long 12-year gap between sequels justified skipping a number in the title, as the last two films were released only two years apart.
- Rodney Rothman will direct the new movie, co-writing the script with Jonah Hill and Meghan Malloy, though no official release date has been announced yet.
- Fans remain curious about the plot direction, speculating whether the characters will pursue new undercover roles such as medical school or foreign exchange scenarios teased in previous films.
