‘Super Troopers 3’ Trailer Drops: Broken Lizard Returns With High-Speed Comedy Chaos
The long-awaited third installment in the beloved comedy franchise, Super Troopers 3, is officially on its way, with Searchlight Pictures unveiling its first trailer. Slated for a theatrical release on August 7, the film marks a major return for the iconic comedy troupe Broken Lizard, who are reuniting to bring their signature humor back to the big screen.
The franchise, which began with Super Troopers, has built a loyal fanbase over the years thanks to its absurd humor, memorable characters, and quotable dialogue. The trailer for the third installment suggests that the spirit of the original remains intact, only bigger and more chaotic.
Familiar Faces and New Additions
All five members of Broken Lizard- Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske– return to reprise their roles as the prank-loving Vermont state troopers.
Veteran actor Brian Cox also reprises his role as the gruff but lovable Captain O’Hagan, a fan-favorite character from the earlier films.
Super Troopers 3 also introduces fresh talent, including Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford, and Andrew Dismukes, adding new comedic dynamics to the established cast.
What the Trailer Reveals
Super Troopers 3 trailer promises everything fans expect: over-the-top pranks, absurd situations, and high-speed chases. From a wedding gone hilariously wrong to chaotic roadside encounters, the film leans heavily into the franchise’s trademark humor.
Directed once again by Jay Chandrasekhar, who helmed both the original and its sequel, Super Troopers 2, the third installment appears to elevate the stakes while maintaining the irreverent tone that made the series a cult hit.
The original Super Troopers debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001 and quickly became a cult favorite, later winning the Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival. Its success paved the way for a sequel in 2018 and now a highly anticipated third chapter.
Searchlight Pictures has expressed strong confidence in the project, emphasizing the enduring appeal of the franchise. The studio believes the film’s blend of absurd humor and nostalgic charm will resonate with both longtime fans and new audiences.
In an era dominated by big-budget blockbusters and franchise reboots, Super Troopers 3 stands out as a continuation of a cult comedy that has maintained its unique voice. The return of Broken Lizard signals a commitment to delivering the same offbeat humor that defined the original.
As anticipation builds ahead of its August release, the film is poised to become one of the most talked-about comedy releases of 2026.
