Super Troopers 3 Rounds Up Bold New Cast as Production Gears Up

Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers is officially rolling into production this August, bringing back the cult-favorite comedy franchise that first won over audiences in 2001. Fans of Broken Lizard’s offbeat humor can rejoice, Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske are all back as the delightfully chaotic Vermont State Troopers.

Chandrasekhar, who directed the first two installments, is once again steering the ship as both director and co-writer, ensuring the third chapter retains the sharp, anarchic spirit that made the series a cult phenomenon.

Super Troopers 3: From Cult Classic to Comedy Legacy

The franchise began with Super Troopers in 2001, a low-budget indie comedy that grew into a beloved sleeper hit. The 2018 sequel, Super Troopers 2, funded largely through crowdfunding, proved the appetite was still there, grossing over $30 million worldwide.

That success cemented Broken Lizard’s ability to blend slapstick chaos with sly, clever nonsense that still resonates with audiences nearly two decades later. Now, with Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers, the troupe is ready to push the absurdity even further.

A Bold New Cast Joins the Mayhem

This time around, the core cast won’t be riding solo. Super Troopers 3 is adding new comedic energy to the mix with several fresh faces:

Nat Faxon (The Descendants, Oscar-winner) as Captain Todd Markowski

Chace Crawford (The Boys) as Baker Buchanan

Andrew Dismukes (Saturday Night Live) as Coy Burns

Fan favorites are also back: Brian Cox returns as the ever-gruff Captain John O’Hagan, while Marisa Coughlan reprises her role as Ursula Hanson. The expanded lineup signals plenty of fresh dynamics and new comedic beats that promise to keep both longtime fans and newcomers laughing.

Searchlight Pictures and Broken Lizard Team Up Again

Super Troopers 3 is being produced with Searchlight Pictures, a frequent partner of Broken Lizard. Searchlight’s president, Matthew Greenfield, praised the franchise for its unique charm, saying the troopers “make the ridiculous feel natural” while spreading “joy and laughter wherever they go.”

Chandrasekhar added his flair, declaring: “It’s mustache-growing time!”—a line bound to ignite excitement among fans who’ve long associated the series with its iconic facial hair and mischief.

What to Expect from Winter Soldiers

While official plot details are being kept under wraps, the subtitle Winter Soldiers suggests a frosty new setting, likely featuring snowbound highways, icy antics, and the troopers’ trademark brand of irreverent comedy. If history is any indication, expect plenty of inside jokes, absurd traffic stops, and unpredictable scenarios that double down on Broken Lizard’s anarchic formula.

Looking Ahead

Though no release date has been confirmed, Super Troopers 3 is expected to hit theaters in 2026. With audiences increasingly hungry for theatrical comedy, the timing couldn’t be better. The return of the Vermont State Troopers promises not only nostalgia for longtime fans but also fresh laughs for a new generation.

After more than 20 years, Super Troopers remains a benchmark for how cult comedies can thrive. And with this latest installment, the franchise looks primed to continue its legacy, blending absurdity, wit, and mustached mischief for years to come.
