Life moves pretty fast for a movie like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. If it doesn’t stop to look around every once in a while, it’ll have a Super Bowl ad, and a ton of internet commenters reappraising just how much of a “hero” its story has before it knows it. Or, in the case of the latest development for John Hughes’ landmark comedy hit, an upcoming movie spinoff finds its way into the picture. And believe it or not, the concept is as killer as the crew behind it.
It’s been revealed by Deadline that Paramount Pictures is developing a Ferris Bueller spinoff that dives into another day off in that very same universe we first visited in 1986. Only this time, we’re being treated to Sam and Victor’s Day Off; which is being developed by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald; the creators behind Netflix’s Cobra Kai.
Writer Bill Posley is on script duty, and all we know about the movie is that it’ll focus on the two valets who went joy riding with the Ferrari that belonged to Cameron’s dad, and the day that resulted from that fateful ride.
Sam and Victor’s Day Off is currently in the early stages of development. As such, we don’t have a concrete timeline as to when, or if, we should expect it up and running. In the meantime, you can revisit Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on streaming, as both Netflix and Paramount+ subscribers currently have access to the film.
More to come…
