Naked Gun Reboot Sets Summer 2025 Release Date

Paramount Pictures has set a release date for its much-delayed The Naked Gun reboot, which will now land in theaters on July 15th, 2025, per Variety.

Starring Liam Neeson, the currently untitled remake will be directed and executive produced by The Lonely Island’s Avika Schaffer, who co-wrote the script with the writing duo of Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins are producing the film through their company Fuzzy Door. Not much else is known about the project at this time.

“It’ll either finish my career or bring it in another direction,” Neeson previously joked to People (The TV Show) about the role. “I honestly don’t know.”

Born out of the short-lived 1982 crime spoof series Police Squad!, The Naked Gun franchise originally centered around the late Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling police sergeant Frank Drebin. It began in 1988 with the first film, From the Files of Police Squad!, and spawned two sequels, 1991’s The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear and 1994’s Naked Gun 33+1⁄3: The Final Insult.

In addition to the Naked Gun reboot, Paramount also added release dates for Paw Patrol 3 and the follow-up to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem to its schedule. The former will be out on July 31st, 2026, with the latter slated for October 9th, 2026.
