Paramount's "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off" Spin-off Movie Is Moving Forward

Paramount Pictures’ spin-off of the 1986 classic comedy "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off" is moving forward.

Written and directed by Hughes, "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off" follows the title character played by Matthew Broderick, who ditches school with pal Cameron and girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) for a day of adventure in Chicago. 

The studio has tapped David Katzenberg to direct the follow-up movie, "Sam and Victor’s Day Off". 

Taking place on a single day, the movie centers on the two titular valets who borrow the Ferrari belonging to the father of Alan Ruck’s character, Cameron Frye, in John Hughes’ original movie.

Richard Edson and Larry Flash Jenkins played the unnamed valets in the original movie who take the Ferrari on a joy ride.

"Ferris Bueller’s Day Off" grossed $70 million in its theatrical run and was one of the most successful films the year it released. It spawned a short-lived NBC sitcom in the early 1990s that included a pre-fame Jennifer Aniston as part of its main cast.

The movie is credited with launching the careers of Broderick, Ruck, and Jennifer Grey, who played Ferris’ sister. It was added to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2014. 

The spinoff was first announced back in 2022. Producers on the movie include Paul Young of Argyle Media, Cobra Kai co-creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. Dina Hillier serves as executive producer, while associate producers Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman, and Scott Yacyshyn.
