‘Spinal Tap’ sequel planned

They still need a drummer.

A sequel to “This Is Spinal Tap” was announced Thursday, and all four major characters are set to return. Rob Reiner will return as the fictional and actu- al director, while Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer will once again star as “one of England’s loudest bands,” Deadline reported. However, their drummer has not been announced.

The follow-up to 1984’s beloved mockumentary is scheduled to premiere March 19, 2024, just over 40 years after the original was released.

Reiner, who debuted as a director with the original film, said the sequel will be based on a classic premise: The band is forced to get back together for one last show.
