Mike Epps Says Ice Cube Has Secured Deal For ‘ Last Friday’

The series hasn’t hit the big screen since 2002, when Friday After Next debuted. Fans have since been clamoring for the final installment of the franchise. And despite several promises to deliver, nothing has come of it yet. However, comedian Mike Epps says that Ice Cube and company have confirmed a deal and that “Last Friday” is in the works.

“Cube called me the other day and said, ‘We just finished the deal.’ So we doing Last Friday,” Epps said during a recent interview on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club.

“I haven’t seen the script but I’m pretty sure it’s good. And we gonna bring in the new comics. We gonna bring the DC Young Flys and all of them in with the OGs and it’s gonna be a good ass time.”

Epps also added that he hopes Chris Tucker will rejoin the franchise for its final installment.

“Hopefully we can get Chris Tucker in it. We need to get Chris Tucker in that because people still love Chris Tucker,” Epps added. “He’s still Smokey. He laid it down. He positioned me to do it. Chris, if you listening: we need ya, baby boy. Come on back!”

In an interview with Flava Flav in 2024, Ice Cube revealed that movie production giant, Warner Brothers Studios, being under new leadership was a key component in Cube making “Last Friday” a reality.

“We finally got some traction with Warner Bros.,” he said. “They have new leadership. My man Mike DeLuca, who used to be at New Line when I first started, when I first did the first Friday and Players Club and All About the Benjamins — Mike DeLuca was there, so now he’s running Warner Bros.”
