Seth MacFarlane--who in 2021 was rumored to be developing a The Naked Gun sequel--will executive produce the film alongside Erica Huggins via their company Fuzzy Door. MacFarlane has reportedly have co-written a script with David Zucker and Pat Proft, based on a story by Zucker, Profit, and Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant both of Reno 911! and The State fame.
