As reported by Deadline in early July, Josh Duhamel and his "Buddy Games" co-stars are reuniting for a sequel, aptly titled "Buddy Games 2," and it is in the early stages of production at the time of writing. Duhamel expressed his excitement about the return to the sequel in a statement shared by Deadline. "I've never had as much fun as I did making the first 'Buddy Games' and honestly feel like 'Buddy Games 2' is shaping up to be every bit as fun as the first," said Duhamel. "After the success of the first movie, I'm beyond excited to get the band back together to do it again."
"Buddy Games" sees Bob (Duhamel), dubbed "Bobfather," reunite his friend group following a five-year break so the group can participate in the "Jackass"-style of competition known as "The Buddy Games." While the guys do want to have fun, they also want to help bring their longtime friend Shelly (Dan Bakkedahl) out of a deep depression after the double whammy of a failed marriage and the loss of his literal manhood in an accident caused by Bender (Nick Swardson). While the first film is generally the kind of comedy enjoyed by teenage boys who find shocking physical danger more humorous than depth and wit, it still offers up some genuinely touching commentary on friendship and camaraderie.
So, what can viewers expect from the sequel?
