Release date: mark your calendars
Sony just set a date: the next Jump Street caper — yes, it’s officially called 24 Jump Street — will roll into U.S. theaters on December 10, 2027. If you thought the franchise’s timing was chaotic before, welcome to the holiday season with undercover chaos.
The returning squad
Good news for fans of buddy-cop mayhem: Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are re-teaming, and Ice Cube is back too. Expect the same combustible chemistry, sarcastic throws, and bromantic chaos that made the first two movies such a fun mess.
New director, familiar comedy DNA
Rodney Rothman is stepping in to direct, taking over from Phil Lord and Chris Miller. He’s no stranger to big laughs and inventive storytelling — he co-wrote and helped steer the wildly creative Spider-Verse — and this will be his first solo gig as a live-action director. Rothman is co-writing with Meghan Malloy and Jonah Hill, so the script is in hands that know how to land a joke.
Russia rumors and what they might mean
Whispers say the plot might venture to Russia. Whether that means snowbound slapstick, spy-movie parody, or an icy backdrop for dumb decisions, it sounds like the filmmakers want to up the scale while keeping the comedy front and center.
The Men in Black detour that didn’t happen
For years there were plans for a Jump Street/Men in Black mash-up. That crossover never took off — Sony moved on and later greenlit Men in Black: International — but the idea of those worlds colliding still makes for a fun “what if” over beers and fan threads.
More from Sony that season
Sony also announced it will distribute Ridley Scott and Jack Thorne’s Treasure Island on November 11, 2027, starring Hugh Jackman, Owen Cooper, and Hugh Grant. So if you’re planning a movie month, Treasure Island lands about a month before 24 Jump Street.
Why this matters
The Jump Street films have always been loud, self-aware, and a little absurd. With Rothman at the helm and the original sparks back together, expect a mix of meta jokes, buddy-banter, and action set pieces that lean into ridiculousness rather than seriousness.
The bottom line
It’s official: the Jump Street crew is gearing up for another round. Whether you’re here for the laugh-out-loud gags, the bromance, or the possibility of a blink-and-you-miss-it shock played for laughs, December 2027 suddenly looks a lot more entertaining.
