Naked Gun reboot set for 2025, with Liam Neeson to star
Quick Glance: New The Naked Gun Film Starring Liam Neeson Set for 2025
  • The continuation of the popular The Naked Gun franchise is set to hit theaters next year, as announced. Paramount Global has revealed a series of release dates for 2025 and 2026, including new installments of last year's successful films like PAW Patrol and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

  • The new The Naked Gun film, still without a title, has been in development for some time but now has received a release date on July 15, 2025. Renowned actor Liam Neeson, known for Taken and Star Wars, will take the lead role, though it remains unclear whether he will portray Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen's character from Police Squad! and The Naked Gun) or a new, similar character.

  • The The Naked Gun world originated in the short-lived 1982 TV series Police Squad!, created by the makers of Airplane!. Despite the series not being a major success, the 1988 feature film Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! became a huge box office hit, grossing over $150 million on a budget of just $12 million. Two more films - Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear and Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult - followed in 1991 and 1994.

  • According to Variety, the first to report the date, The Naked Gun project will be directed and produced by Avika Schaffer, who co-wrote the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Man. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins of Family Guy are producing through their company Fuzzy Door.
