The Vermont State Police are back, and this time it’s personal. Also, Farva is getting married. Also, there’s a drug ring. Also, Brian Cox might actually show up if they don’t schedule any night shoots. Super Troopers 3 has officially dropped its poster, and the Broken Lizard crew is returning to theaters on August 7 with the kind of low-stakes, high-stupidity comedy that summer desperately needs.
Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske—the five-headed comedy hydra known as Broken Lizard—are all back in uniform. The plot, which sounds like it was pitched during a particularly rowdy game of beer pong, centers on Farva’s wildly over-the-top Indian engagement to Thorny’s sister. When this relationship spirals into chaos, the Super Troopers must navigate Thorny’s schemes to break it up while simultaneously cracking a pernicious new drug ring. All to save the day and maybe the wedding itself.
Yes, Farva is getting married. The man whose defining character traits include being loud, ill-tempered, obnoxious, and arrogant has found love, or at least something close enough to it to require an engagement party. The Indian wedding angle suggests cultural comedy that could either land brilliantly or crash spectacularly, which is exactly the kind of tightrope walk that Broken Lizard has built their reputation on.
Brian Cox returns as Captain John O’Hagan, the cantankerous commander who has somehow kept these idiots employed for three films. Cox has expressed interest in reprising his role provided he doesn’t have to do any night shoots, which is the most Brian Cox demand imaginable. He’s an Oscar-nominated actor who has played everything from Hannibal Lecter to Logan Roy, and his condition for returning to a comedy about highway patrolmen is a reasonable bedtime. Respect.
The cast has expanded to include some fresh faces. Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford, and Andrew Dismukes joined the production, along with Hannah Simone, Iqbal Theba, Sakina Jaffrey, Jon Rudnitsky, and Lisa Gilroy. Marisa Coughlan returns as Ursula Hansen, the dispatcher-turned-police chief who has somehow maintained a relationship with Foster despite his association with the most dysfunctional law enforcement unit in New England.
Principal photography wrapped in October 2025 after a brisk shoot that began in late August. The film was originally titled Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers, because apparently someone thought it would be funny to reference both the Marvel sequel and the fact that Vermont gets cold. That subtitle seems to have been abandoned in favor of simplicity, which is probably for the best given that the target audience might not remember which Captain America movie Winter Soldier actually is.
What Super Troopers 3 represents is increasingly rare in modern comedy: a mid-budget, R-rated ensemble film made by actual friends who enjoy each other’s company. This isn’t a studio assembly line product. It’s a passion project funded by people who believe that jokes about maple syrup festivals and police corruption never go out of style. The first film became a cult classic through sheer persistence, the second was crowdfunded into existence, and the third exists because Disney—through its Searchlight Pictures acquisition—decided that Broken Lizard was worth keeping around.
August 7. Mark your calendars. Polish your mustaches. And prepare to quote lines that will make your parents uncomfortable.
Suit up—see Super Troopers 3 in theaters August 7 and join the Broken Lizard crew for another round of highway patrol mayhem.
