The 2007 offering Superbad, once a staple of Netflix and Hulu's global libraries, refuses to be fully free in the streaming world now. Fans hoping to binge Seth, Evan, and Fogell’s wild antics without emptying their wallets will be disappointed, as the teen comedy classic is available only for rent on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon, and Fandango as of now, making it a must-pay for anyone wanting to relive the legendary humor that made it an enduring cult favorite.

The three aforementioned names, for those unversed, form the unforgettable trio at the heart of Superbad, navigating the wild, awkward landscape of senior-year high school. From desperate attempts to secure alcohol for a party to audacious adventures that spiral hilariously out of control, their friendship drives the story. Packed with quotable moments like “Odd crime for a Jew to commit, they are pretty docile” and “He is the sweetest guy. Have you ever looked into his eyes?," the film perfectly balances raunchy laughs with a genius heart. Every giggle, cringe, and chaotic scene captures the timeless chaos of adolescence, making it a comedy classic that still resonates among the masses. And now, speculations are rife about a Superbad sequel, all thanks to Seth Rogen.

Years after Superbad cemented its status as a defining teen comedy, fans have continued to speculate about a possible sequel. Seth Rogen, who starred in and co-wrote the film, recently reignited discussions about follow-ups while discussing Pineapple Express on Watch What Happens Live. Though he left a slight opening for potential sequels in the streaming era, Rogen, who recently said he believes he is turning into Nicole Kidman, admitted he is not particularly focused on revisiting older projects. The conversation, however, quickly turned fans’ attention back to the iconic antics of the film’s crew.

Despite the renewed fan interest, the outlook for Superbad 2 remains bleak. Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen’s longtime collaborator, also confirmed in an interview last year that some films, including Superbad and Pineapple Express, are best left untouched. While social media continues to speculate, pitch imaginative reunions, and fantasize about the title’s characters’ lives outside of high school, the creators’ stance suggests the original story will have to do. Audiences must settle for reliving the chaos and wild high school adventures of the original film on the aforementioned platforms.
