Production

[edit]

On September 10, 2014, 23 Jump Street was confirmed.[1] Channing Tatum had yet to sign on to the project, stating, "I don't know if that joke works three times, so we'll see".[2] On August 7, 2015, it was revealed that Lord and Miller would not direct the film, but instead write and produce. A first draft of the film's script had been completed by then.[3] On December 10, 2014, it was revealed that Sony was planning a crossover between Men in Black and Jump Street. The news was leaked after Sony's system was hacked[4] and then confirmed by the directors of the films, Lord and Miller, during an interview about it.[5][6] James Bobin was announced as the director in March 2016.[7][8] The title of the crossover was later revealed as MIB 23, and it was revealed that the crossover would replace a 23 Jump Street film but the idea for the film was later dropped.[9]

On June 24, 2024, Tatum stated that 23 Jump Street had "the best script I've ever read for a third movie," and that he "would love to do it with Jonah, and I know Jonah wants to do it too".[10] On October 10, 2025, Tatum reiterated this and elaborated that the project's stalling has been because of oversized budgets and producer fees, expressing his doubts it will ever happen because of the costs involving all the producers that would cost more than the actual film. He noted that he, Hill, Lord and Miller have agreed to smaller producer fees as a solution, but Neal H. Moritz's producer compensation keeps making the project unworkable.[11]

On June 10, 2026, it was announced that the film, now titled 24 Jump Street was officially in development, with Rodney Rothman directing and co-writing the script with Jonah Hill and Meghan Malloy, and also Tatum, Hill, and Ice Cube in talks to return.[12]
