Overview
- Skydance Sports acquired Are They Gone Yet? and the project entered early development with Ice Cube and Nia Long reported to be returning as Nick Persons and Suzanne.
- The screenplay is being written by Chris Hazzard and Mike Fontana and production is led by Broken Road and CubeVision with Ice Cube, Todd Garner and Jeff Kwatinetz listed as producers.
- Nia Long reacted to the announcement on social media with the brief message “This should be fun,” while Ice Cube said the film will bring the characters to a new generation by exploring Nick as a grandfather.
- The project currently has no director, no broader cast confirmations and no release date, and outlets note that additional casting and plot details beyond the grandparent premise have not been disclosed.
- The move taps a proven franchise: the original 2005 and 2007 films together grossed more than $156 million worldwide and the IP later spawned a TBS sitcom, making it a clear example of Hollywood’s nostalgia-driven sequels.
