Background

In July 2014, it was announced that Adult Swim picked up Harold and Kumar: The Animated Series and was confirmed by Kal Penn, David Krumholtz, and Jon Hurwitz.[1] However, it was never produced.[2]

In July 2016, co-star John Cho revealed that he had pitched an idea for a fourth Harold & Kumar film and thought there was a chance it might get made. In an interview with Den of Geek, Cho stated, "I thought of a really great idea, and I pitched it out to the director when we happened to be having dinner one night. And I don't know...I think we're gonna get this made.”[3]

In November 2021, while doing an Instagram Q&A for his new book, Penn was asked whether a fourth film was happening. His response was, "I believe so."

In a November 2023 interview with screenwriters and directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, it was said that a fourth film was in development saying “We're all talking about making another one. It's really just a matter of time. It's figuring out when it could all fit into all of our schedules. It’s something that we’re all determined to do. We just need to find the time to do it.”[4]

In June 2025, the fourth film was officially announced by Lionsgate, with Hurwitz and Schlossberg directing, and writing the screenplay alongside Josh Heald. Cho and Penn are expected to reprise their roles as Harold Lee and Kumar Patel, but no deal has been set.[5] In July 2026, Cho and Penn were confirmed to return for the film.[6]
