The what? You\u2019re forgiven if you forgot this was supposed to be a thing. It\u2019s been over three years since it was first announced<\/a> that Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald were developing a spinoff of Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off for Paramount Pictures. David Katzenberg (The Goldbergs) was set to direct<\/a> the feature, but it\u2019s been a while since we last heard anything about it. Now we know why. It turns out that the project has been scrapped.<\/p>\n

What Was the Ferris Bueller Spinoff About?<\/p>\n

The new regime at Paramount Pictures hasn\u2019t wasted any time reshaping the studio, with a wave of executive shake-ups marking Larry Ellison\u2019s arrival. Unfortunately, that restructuring has also resulted in several in-development projects getting the axe. According to THR<\/a>, one of the casualties is Victor and Sam\u2019s Day Off, a planned spinoff of Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off.<\/p>\n

The spinoff was set to follow the \u201csame-day adventures of the titular valets who took the Ferrari on a joy ride\u201d in the 1986 John Hughes movie. The original roles were played by Richard Edson and Larry \u201cFlash\u201d Jenkins, but the characters weren\u2019t given names at the time. Beyond one short scene<\/a> of the pair rocketing down the road, we don\u2019t know much about what Victor and Sam got up to\u2026 and now, it appears we never will.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t really a project I was excited about, and judging by the comments in our original articles, neither were many of you. It felt about forty years too late.<\/p>\n

Have There Been Any Ferris Bueller Sequels?<\/p>\n

There had been talks of a Ferris Bueller sequel back in the day, with Matthew Broderick and writer\/director John Hughes considering ideas which would have found Bueller in college or at his first job, but they couldn\u2019t get too excited about either of those concepts. \u201cFerris Bueller is about the week before you leave school, it\u2019s about the end of school\u2014in some way, it doesn\u2019t have a sequel,\u201d Broderick said. \u201cIt\u2019s a little moment and it\u2019s a lightning flash in your life. I mean, you could try to repeat it in college or something but it\u2019s a time that you don\u2019t keep. So that\u2019s partly why I think we couldn\u2019t think of another.\u201c<\/p>\n

Although the sequel didn\u2019t materialize, there was a TV series that portrayed the \u201creal\u201d Ferris Bueller upon which the movie was based. Charlie Schlatter starred as Ferris alongside Brandon Douglas as Cameron, Ami Bolenz as Sloan, and Jennifer Aniston as Jeannie. The series was cancelled after just thirteen episodes due to low ratings.<\/p>\n
