JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE Sequel Is in Development with the Original Cast Returning

A sequel to the 2006 comedy John Tucker Must Die is in development, and the news was confirmed by the cast during a panel at Epic Cons in Chicago. The cast members in attendance included Arielle Kebbel, Jesse Metcalfe, and Sophia Bush.

The cast showed up to commemorate the 18th birthday of John Tucker Must Die and during the panel, the cast members dropped the news about the sequel, and they are down to come back for it.

Metcalfe told the crowd that he had heard "there is a script" and added, "I’ve been hearing rumblings about this script circulating Hollywood — apparently it's amazing." While he hasn't read the script, Metcalfe did say, "I'd definitely love to be a part of it, and I can't wait to read it."

Kebbel confirmed that a script would involve the original cast, saying: "The rumor is true. I started producing a few years ago. There is a script. We are very proud of it. It does involve all of the OG cast."

Bush then jumped in and said she’s "ready to go," with the film. Kebbel added that the script also "blends some very cool new cast" and that "Jesse may or may not get a chance to change, which would be very exciting."

No details were shared on the plot of the film. Kebbel said, "That’s pretty much all I can say for now." She then thanked the fans for their "enthusiasm" which she said "is definitely inspiring and a huge part of this, and it definitely, definitely has been a very special thing to see the love and support of this almost 20 years later."

The original movie was actually a lot of fun! My girls loved it, and this news is definitely going to get them excited. In the first film, Kate (Brittany Snow) is the new girl in school. She catches John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) dating three different girls at once: Carrie – the smart girl, Heather – the cheerleader, and Beth – the activist slut; none of them are aware that they are not the only girl in John's heart. Kate, having been raised by a single mother, has seen the pain caused by playboys like John Tucker, and she won't stand idly by. Together with the three jilted ex-girlfriends, they hatch a plan to teach John a lesson. Things rarely go as planned, especially when Kate starts to think that she might be falling for John herself.”
