The third installment of the cult classic comedy franchise "Super Troopers" is now in production. The five-man comedy group Broken Lizard (Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske) are reteaming with Searchlight Pictures for the new installment. The team wrote the script and Chandrasekhar is set to direct again. Richard Perello is producing.
The original cast members will be reprising their roles, including Brian Cox as Captain John O'Hagan and Marisa Coughlan as Ursula Hanson. Joining the cast are Nat Faxon ("The Way Way Back") as Captain Todd Markowski, Chace Crawford ("The Boys") as Baker Buchanan and Andrew Dismukes ("Saturday Night Live") as Coy Burns.
Searchlight President Matthew Greenfield had this to say: "Broken Lizard has been part of the Searchlight family for over two decades, and we couldn't be more thrilled for another entry in the 'Super Troopers' saga. 'Super Troopers' has a way of making the absurd feel inevitable, and we can't wait to bring audiences along on another adventure with these characters who leave a trail of joy and laughter, wherever their patrols may take them."
Chandrasekhar added: "Broken Lizard is excited to help bring the theatrical comedy back. To America, we say, 'It's mustache-growing time!'"
The original "Super Troopers" was released by Fox Searchlight in 2001 after being acquired at the Sundance Film Festival, and it won the Audience Award at the South by Southwest Film Festival. A sequel was released in 2018. Both films were directed by Chandrasekhar and written by and starring the entire Broken Lizard group.
Broken Lizard's filmmography also includes "Club Dread", "Quasi", "Beerfest" and "The Slammin' Salmon". Heffernan and Lemme also created and star in the TruTV series "Tacoma FD".
