Took them long enough to think this one up.

Haha, yeah.

Legit one of the most bizarre things I've seen get greenlit.

It's like, hey, ya'll remember this thing from the 80s, right?

Desperation for new ideas yields strange results sometimes.

Eh.....a sequel about 2 side characters who were in the film for, what....?.....2-5 minutes, tops? Nearly 40 years later....?

Sounds like a real reach.

In the article linked above, Alan Ruck mentions a sequel idea him & Matthew kicked around in 2010 that sounds way more interesting than this.

Back in 2010, Broderick and Ruck had discussed ideas for sequels, with Ruck saying that he thinks they should do one in about another 15 or 20 years.

"I used to think why don't they wait until Matthew and I are in our seventies and do Ferris Bueller Returns and have Cameron be in a nursing home," Ruck said. "He doesn't really need to be there, but he just decided his life is over, so he committed himself to a nursing home. And Ferris comes and breaks him out. And they go to, like, a titty bar and all this ridiculous stuff happens. And then, at the end of the movie, Cameron dies."
