Super Troopers 3 Returns Broken Lizard Troupe to Theaters

The R-rated sequel leans on three decades of cast chemistry to revive old-fashioned theatrical comedy through sharper technical craft.

Overview

  • The film, which opens Friday, Aug. 7, 2026, arrives in U.S. cinemas as the latest installment in the 25-year Super Troopers franchise.
  • Broken Lizard members Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske reunite with Brian Cox back in a supporting role.
  • The plot keeps the series' tone with the troopers investigating a drug ring tied to vandalized maple syrup trucks while a subplot follows Farva’s engagement to Thorny’s sister.
  • Director and co-writer Jay Chandrasekhar framed the project as an effort to bring back R-rated American theatrical comedy and said improved technical craft helped the troupe loosen up on set.
  • Early reviews are mixed: some critics call the movie mainly for devoted fans while others find it reliably amusing, suggesting the film will play best to long-time followers and nostalgia-minded audiences.
