“Harold and Kumar 4” Is In The Works

“Cobra Kai” creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald have finalised a deal to write a fourth instalment of the stoner buddy comedy franchise “Harold and Kumar”.

Hurwitz and Schlossberg will also direct the feature, which is in development at Mandate Pictures – a company owned by Lionsgate.

The films launched in 2004 with “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,” which the team penned. It was followed by 2008’s “Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay” and 2011’s “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas”.

The trio wrote and produced all three films, with Hurwitz and Schlossberg directing the second. Greg Shapiro also produced the films and returns in the same capacity here.

John Cho and Kal Penn, who played the title characters of Korean American Harold Lee and Indian American Kumar Patel across the three prior films, are expected to return.

No acting deals have yet been made, and the involvement of Neil Patrick Harris, who was also a key cast member, is presently unclear.

The films blended stoner comedy, sex comedy, and a dash of social and political commentary. Reviews have been mixed to positive, and the trio of films to date have grossed $102.8 million worldwide off a combined budget of $40 million.
