It has been reported that Ride Along 3 has entered early development at Universal Studios. In addition to stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, director Tim Story and producer Will Packer are also said to be willing to return. Preliminary discussions are ongoing among all parties to make the third film happen.

The series is a comedy featuring Kevin Hart as a young man serving as a police officer. Tim Story, who directed the first two films, remaining in the director's chair and Will Packer being involved as a producer provide a strong foundation for the sequel. This agreement aligns with Universal's strategic goals for the comedy genre.

Universal has also reached an agreement with screenwriter Daniel Gold. Gold is recognized as an experienced writer who has worked on the comedy series jointly released by Netflix and CBC. The participation of the writer, who will form the screenplay's foundation, represents a significant step in the project's development process.

The Ride Along series has previously achieved successful results at the box office and has been closely followed by audiences. The strong chemistry between Ice Cube and Kevin Hart raises expectations that the third film could continue this success.

As the project is currently in the early stages, there is no definite start date or other details available yet. However, the willingness of the entire core team to return is a positive indicator for the realization of Ride Along 3.
