Paramount+ has decided not to move forward with the Workaholics movie based on the beloved comedy series just weeks before filming was set to begin.
The Workaholics movie has gotten its pink slip from Paramount Plus. The movie, which would've been a continuation of the cult favorite sitcom, was to have begun filming next month but has been canceled by the streamer.
Star and executive producer Adam Devine announced the cancelation on Instagram on Monday, stating that Paramount Plus told them the film didn't "fit their new “global” strategy". Devine describes the move as "the loosest butthole," and expresses being "butt hurt" for their fans, for missing out on a chance to "work with my best friends again", and for "our loyal crew, and other cast members who are now going to have to scramble to find new jobs.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY An outgrowth of the comedy troupe Mail Order Comedy, Workaholics starred Devine, Blake Anderson, and Anders Holm as three slackers working for a telemarketing company in Rancho Cucamonga, California; the series also starred Jillian Bell, Maribeth Monroe, and Erik Griffin. It was a cult hit, and aired for seven seasons on Comedy Central, from 2011 to 2017, producing 86 episodes.
However, there may be hope yet for Workaholics; Devine says that "we are out to other streamers, and hopefully we will get to make this insanely fun movie somewhere else". Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
