An Early Red-Band Preview Ahead of Theaters
Disney+ announced the streaming debut with a cheeky post on X: "Shenanigans are officially back." The 11-minute special look is now available on both Disney+ and Hulu, offering an extended, red-band-rated preview of the third installment in the Super Troopers franchise well ahead of its theatrical debut. The preview carries a content warning for strong language, sexual references, and brief nudity, matching the franchise's raunchy comedic tone. The feature film itself remains a theatrical exclusive when it opens on August 7, 2026.
What's the Plot of Super Troopers 3?
Super Troopers 3 picks up with Officer Farva's wildly over-the-top engagement to Thorny's sister spiraling into chaos. The Super Troopers must navigate Thorny's schemes to break up the relationship while simultaneously trying to crack a pernicious new drug ring — all in an effort to save the day, and maybe the wedding itself. It's the long-rumored third chapter in the cult comedy franchise that began with 2001's original Super Troopers and continued with 2018's Super Troopers 2.
Broken Lizard Returns, Joined By a Stacked New Cast
Jay Chandrasekhar directs from a script he co-wrote with fellow Broken Lizard members Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske — all of whom also reprise their roles on screen. They're joined by a deep bench of new cast additions, including Brian Cox, Chace Crawford, Hannah Simone, Nat Faxon, Andrew Dismukes, Jon Rudnitsky, Lisa Gilroy, Marisa Coughlan, Sakina Jaffrey, and Iqbal Theba. Searchlight Pictures is distributing the film theatrically.
What This Means for Fans
The early streaming preview is a marketing play, not a shortcut to the movie itself — anyone hoping to see the full film will still need a theater ticket on August 7. But the 11-minute red-band look, paired with a returning Broken Lizard cast and a roster of high-profile additions, is a strong signal that Searchlight and Disney+ are leaning into the franchise's built-in cult following ahead of a wide theatrical push. Fans can catch the special look now on Disney+ and Hulu before Super Troopers 3 hits theaters everywhere on August 7, 2026.
