From 23 to 24 Jump Street: Why the Sequel Skipped a Number
The Hollywood Reporter notes that a third Jump Street film never materialized as “23 Jump Street,” with Sony instead developing a new entry titled 24 Jump Street that would reunite Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube. The shift is treated as possibly thematic meta-humor about the franchise’s numbering, underscored by producer Neal Moritz posting a 24 Jump Street screenplay page joking that “it took so long to make we had to skip one.” No release date has been announced.
