Channing Tatum Confirms 21 Jump Street Sequel In The Works

Even before 21 Jump Street made its debut at SXSW last spring, Jonah Hill was insisting Columbia Pictures had given him and his co-writer Michael Bacall the greenlight to pen a sequel. At the time, it seemed a presumptuous move as a comedy based on an '80s cop drama about two undercover narcs posing as high school students didn't seem all that promising. But Hill and co-star Channing Tatum won over audiences and critics alike.

Raking in more than $192 million worldwide, Columbia's early development of 21 Jump Street 2—not the actual name, but for the sake of discussion let's go with it—proved a shrewd move. Yet little has been heard about this sequel since then. But while Tatum has continued his 2012 box office domination, bounding from the wildly successful romance The Vow to 21 Jump Street to Steven Soderbergh's second theatrical release this year Magic Mike, he has taken to Twitter to assure fans he is pumped to return Jump Street.
