Buckle up. Harold & Kumar 4 is happening. The Cobra Kai team of Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald will write the sequel and Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct. Kal Penn and John Cho are expected to return.
Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald, the creators behind worldwide Netflix sensation Cobra Kai, have closed a deal to write a new installment of Harold & Kumar, the buddy stoner comedy movie series that was popular in the early 2000s.
Hurwitz and Schlossberg will also direct the feature, which is being developed at Lionsgate-owned Mandate Pictures. It is a full circle moment for the gentlemen as their Hollywood career got high thanks to writing the original movie, 2004’s Harold & Kumar go to White Castle, and making their directorial debut with 2008’s Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
They're statement on the project:
“We’re fired up to bring Harold and Kumar back in a return to the unapologetically R-rated, smoke-filled chaos that started it all,” Hurwitz and Schlossberg said jointly in a statement. “It’s high time they puff and pass their wisdom onto a new generation. Just don’t tell their kids.”
