According to Variety, Sony is currently developing 24 Jump Street, which will serve as a new installment in the Jump Street franchise. Rodney Rothman is directing the film.
Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are currently in talks to reprise their respective roles from the previous films, marking a reunion for them after more than a decade.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who directed the first two movies, will be serving as producers alongside Neal H. Moritz. Tatum and Hill are also attached as producers, while Hill also co-wrote the script with Rothman and Meghan Molloy.
So far, the plot details are still under wraps. It is also unknown why the installment will be skipping "23" in the title, or if it's part of the gag that they are doing in the movie.
For now, stay tuned for updates regarding the project in the coming months, but this is exciting news for fans of the franchise since they can see Schmidt and Jenko again after all these years.
The 21 Jump Street Movie Franchise Success

Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller in their live-action debut, 21 Jump Street starred Hill and Tatum as Schmidt and Jenko, two underperforming police officers sent undercover to bust a high school drug ring.
The comedy was a box office hit, grossing over $200 million globally, and featured Ice Cube as their hard-nosed superior, Captain Dickson. Its success spawned an even bigger sequel, which sent the duo's undercover antics to college and raked in $331 million worldwide.
The cinematic franchise stems from the classic 1987 Fox television series created by Patrick Hasburgh and Stephen J. Cannell. The original five-season show famously starred Johnny Depp, who even returned for a surprise cameo in the first film.
