The 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun, produced by Seth MacFarlane and directed by Akiva Schaffer, became a surprising box office success, earning over $100 million. Many fans of the original films were pleased with the new take, which balanced modern humor with the classic slapstick that made the series so popular. Starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, the film breathed new life into the characters and proved to be one of the funniest installments in the entire franchise.
Given how well-received The Naked Gun was by both critics and audiences, many are wondering if Paramount Pictures will make a sequel. Although nothing is certain, there’s a possibility that Liam Neeson and Leslie Nielsen could return for another funny adventure.
Seth MacFarlane, while promoting the second season of Ted, recently discussed the possibility of a Naked Gun sequel with The Hollywood Reporter. He confirmed that everyone involved, including Liam Neeson, is eager to make another film, but they haven’t received any news yet. MacFarlane stated that the decision ultimately rests with Paramount Pictures.
Everyone, including Liam, is eager to hear back. We haven’t received any updates so far, and it seems like the decision rests with Paramount.
Writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand had begun brainstorming ideas for a possible second Naked Gun film. Mand mentioned they had filled several notebooks with potential plotlines. Producer Erica Huggins also confirmed discussions about a sequel, noting that Leslie Nielsen’s co-stars Schaffer, Gregor, and Mand were all interested in revisiting the story.
This news follows comments Schaffer made earlier in 2026 about potential future installments. He told fans they weren’t actively planning a new movie, but had brainstormed some ideas. He also noted that Skydance Media recently finalized its purchase of Paramount Global, just days after The Naked Gun came out, and the team was waiting to see if Paramount was interested in making another film.
After the first film came out, Liam Neeson thought it would be a standalone movie and a sequel wasn’t likely. But he really enjoyed working with everyone involved and wasn’t opposed to making another one. Even now, in his 70s, Neeson has shown he’s still capable of both action and comedy, and he feels up to the challenge of making another Naked Gun film.
Paramount is going through significant changes right now, as they’re trying to buy Warner Bros. Discovery in a deal worth over $100 billion. They have several movies planned for release soon, but it’s unclear if they’ll decide to make another Naked Gun film.
The Naked Gun is now streaming on Paramount+, MGM+, and Amazon Prime Video.
