Super Troopers 3: Everything to Know

Super Troopers 3 hit theaters August 7, 2026, eight years after Super Troopers 2 and a full 25 years after the original cult classic started it all. The Broken Lizard troupe is back, this time sending Officer Farva down the aisle for an over the top Indian wedding to Thorny's sister, while the squad also tries to bust a new drug ring on the side.

What's the actual plot of Super Troopers 3?

The film centers on Farva's chaotic, over the top engagement to Thorny's sister, which spirals fast once Thorny starts scheming to break the relationship up entirely. Layered on top of the wedding drama is the troopers' usual day job, this time investigating what one official synopsis calls "a pernicious new drug ring." Director Jay Chandrasekhar himself described the tone as "basically Meet the Parents, meet Super Troopers."

Who's in it?

The full original Broken Lizard lineup is back. Jay Chandrasekhar returns as both director and as Thorny, alongside Kevin Heffernan as Farva, Steve Lemme as Mac, Paul Soter as Foster, and Erik Stolhanske as Rabbit. Brian Cox reprises his role as Captain O'Hagan, along with Nat Faxon, Marisa Coughlan, Chace Crawford, Andrew Dismukes, Sakina Jaffrey, Hannah Simone, Lisa Gilroy, Iqbal Theba, and Jon Rudnitsky.

Why did it take eight years to get a third movie?

The franchise has always operated on its own timeline. The original came out in 2001 on a tiny three million dollar budget and built its audience slowly, through DVD sales and cable reruns. Super Troopers 2 didn't arrive until 2018, seventeen years later, and became the bigger hit of the two. Given that gap, an eight year wait for the third film is actually the franchise moving relatively quickly by its own standards.

Is the humor still going to hold up in 2026?

This is honestly the question I'd have going in too. Erik Stolhanske said the group felt like "we could get away with some things," and Kevin Heffernan put it more plainly: "If you have a good natured group of people, I think you can push it farther than you think." Broken Lizard's comedy has always leaned on the cast clearly liking each other rather than punching down at anyone outside the group, which tends to age better than a lot of 2000s comedy did.

Is this the franchise's last movie, or could there be more?

Nothing has been said publicly about a fourth film, and given how spaced out the previous sequels have been, seventeen years then eight years, there's no real pattern to predict from. The film is now owned by Disney following the broader studio landscape shifts of the last decade.

Should you actually go see it?

If you were a fan of the first two films, I don't think this one is going to lose you. The cast clearly still has the same chemistry, and the wedding premise gives them a fresh structure to hang jokes on. If you've never seen a Super Troopers movie before, this genuinely isn't the place to start. Go back to the 2001 original first.
