Lionsgate is officially putting a new Harold & Kumar franchise film into production, and the team behind "Cobra Kai" (the sequel series to "The Karate Kid" franchise) is taking the reins.
Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald are handling development — the same trio who wrote the original film and even made their directorial debut on the sequel. Now they're coming full circle, returning to the characters who first opened doors for them in Hollywood.

The plot's under wraps, but I think we can expect another dose of absurdity, comedic situations, and that special... relaxed approach these characters are known for.
And if you've forgotten what made the trilogy famous: these aren't just road movies about getting somewhere — they're journeys packed with random stops, bizarre encounters, and ridiculous moments that somehow end up being damn charming. The films have become cult classics among viewers, especially those who love wit without pretension and madness without brakes.
No release date yet, but I'm keeping tabs. In the meantime, go rewatch the first three films and see how their story began. And yes, this time they might not be chasing burgers. Though who knows — with these two, anything's possible. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com reported on the development of an adaptation of the short story "Black Code" starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
