24 Jump Street in Development at Sony Pictures After 12-Year Gap

Sony Pictures has greenlit 24 Jump Street, continuing the Jump Street franchise more than a decade after 22 Jump Street released in 2014. Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are expected to reprise their roles, with Rodney Rothman (co-writer and co-director of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) directing from a script he co-wrote with Hill and Meghan Malloy. Original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are set to produce. The decision to skip 23 Jump Street was explained by producer Neal H. Moritz through an Instagram post featuring the screenplay's title page with the subtitle "It took so long to make we had to skip one." The franchise has consistently played with its numbering scheme—the first film's title refers to the street address of the undercover police headquarters, and the second film relocated the operation across the street, changing the address to 22. The 22 Jump Street post-credits sequence humorously teased an extensive list of potential sequels spanning multiple schools and scenarios. No release date has been announced.
