The Broken Lizard troupe celebrated the 25th anniversary of its cult classic *Super Troopers* with the theatrical release of *Super Troopers 3* on August 7, 2026, as scheduled. The film reunites the original Vermont state troopers and adds a wedding subplot: Farva becomes engaged to Thorny’s sister Sarita, leading to a series of mishaps. Concurrently, the troopers investigate a drug ring trafficking a potent narcotic dubbed “Canadian Crystal.” Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar, the cast includes Kevin Heffernan, Jay Chandrasekhar, Hannah Simone, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Erik Stolhanske and Brian Cox.

While the film continues the franchise’s tradition of politically incorrect humor—which the troupe defended as “good-natured”—critical response has been mixed. Some reviewers praise its consistent humor, while others find it mediocre or suggest it struggles to capture the charm of the original franchise. Some critics noted that the heavy focus on wedding and character dynamics may come at the expense of the signature prank-based humor and police procedural elements.

Distributed by Searchlight Pictures, the release relies on the troupe’s 25-year legacy and a fan base that supported the 2018 sequel’s $32 million gross. Although no official streaming date has been confirmed, the film is expected to arrive on Disney+ and Hulu approximately three months after its theatrical debut, likely in early November 2026.
