Ferris Bueller's Day Off,the classic '80s John Hughes film, is getting its own spinoff. Paramount Pictures has hired the creators of Cobra Kai to bring its spinoff to life, following the success of the Karate Kid sequel series.

Though the two remain unnamed in the original film, they will apparently be named Sam and Victor in this installment. They were portrayed in the original film by Richard Edson and Larry «Flash» Jenkins, who passed away in 2019.
