Sony Puts '24 Jump Street' Into Development

The move reunites the franchise’s original producers with a new director and opens negotiations to bring back the lead cast, signaling a formal restart of a sequel stalled for years.

Overview

  • The announcement came Wednesday when producer Neal H. Moritz posted an image of a script titled 24 Jump Street, confirming the project is in development at Sony.
  • Rodney Rothman is attached to direct and is credited as a co-writer on the script alongside Jonah Hill and Meghan Malloy, according to multiple trade reports.
  • Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Neal H. Moritz are returning as producers, and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are listed as producers on the project through their production partners.
  • Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube are in talks to reprise their roles, with outlets reporting Tatum has received an offer but that casting and negotiations are still ongoing.
  • The title skips 23 Jump Street as a deliberate franchise joke after a previously scrapped 23 project; no plot details or release date have been shared and the project remains at an early stage.
