Lord and Chris Miller. The upcoming film, which remains untitled, is expected to begin production in Los Angeles this summer and is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 19, 2027.

The project is overseen by Universal's Executive Vice President of Production Development Sara Scott and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell.
