15 Upcoming Movies You Had No Idea Were Happening
13. Bad Moms Spin-Off... Bad Dads
Release Date: TBA
After last summer's Bad Moms made an impressive $180+ million at the box office, it wasn't much of a surprise that a sequel was fast-tracked into production, with A Bad Moms Christmas hitting cinemas this November, but now a gender-swapped spin-off is on the way too?
Gender-swapped movies are a new trend that's typically leaned towards stereotypically male-targeted movies like Ghostbusters and Ocean's Eleven getting all-female reboots, but here it's going to slide in the other direction.
It's a somewhat forced idea for a spin-off given that the whole premise of the original movie was, "Hey, women can be reckless slobs too!", and there's not nearly as much ironic surprise in a bunch of irresponsible, lazy husbands doing irresponsible and lazy things (unless the movie features a new group of buttoned-down dads who let loose).
Don't be surprised if the new Bad Moms movie includes some sort of post-credits set-up for Bad Dads, and that's really the only way anyone's going to have a clue that this thing is actually happening.
