Bad Dads Secures 2017 Release

 

Rather than following the route of a traditional sequel, STX Entertainment has reportedly teed up plans for a Bad Moms spinoff, and it’s already landed a July 14, 2017 release date. It’s called Bad Dads and, as the title suggests, takes the relatively successful format found in Jon Lucas and Scott Moore’s maternal comedy and applies it to a male-oriented feature.

Little is known about the cast and crew attached to said offshoot, but STX is bullish in its hopes to expand the Bad parents brand, mapping out cross-platform strategies that could entail a reality television show, short form digital content, and a consumer products program.

Bad Dads will face stiff competition from Fox threequel War For The Planet Of The Apes when it opens on July 14, 2017. Then again, Bad Moms pulled in a respectable box office haul all the while releasing opposite Universal’s Jason Bourne.
