Kal Penn has shared a significant update on Harold & Kumar 4, confirming that the long-awaited sequel is currently in development. Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Penn indicated that the project is actively moving forward, with the writing process already underway.

Reflecting on the possibility of returning to the franchise, Penn said, “Anytime somebody asks me, are we doing a fourth one? I always think of all the like the joyous stuff that we got to work on because of it.” He then provided a clearer update on the film’s progress, stating, “So Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who created the franchise, are writing the fourth movie with Josh Heald, who they created Cobra Kai with… and we’re hoping to make a fourth movie.”

He further added, “They’re writing it right now. Yeah, I’ve seen the outline. They walked me through the outline. It’s… I hope we get to make this thing. It’s very, very fun.”

The project is being developed by Hurwitz and Schlossberg, who are collaborating once again with Josh Heald.

Furthermore, in a prior statement, Hurwitz and Schlossberg said, “We’re fired up to bring Harold and Kumar back in a return to the unapologetically R-rated, smoke-filled chaos that started it all. It’s high time they puff and pass their wisdom onto a new generation. Just don’t tell their kids (via The Hollywood Reporter).”

Plot details remain under wraps, and a release date for the film has not yet been announced.
