Jason Biggs: Hopes for “American Pie 5”

“American Pie” star Jason Biggs (47) still hopes that there will be a fifth part of the cult film series. “I would like to do it,” he emphasized in the interview.

Jason Biggs said that the question of a sequel was “tricky”. “I have heard various reasons for the delay, and the most realistic of it is that you just have to get a lot of people on board. Also behind the scenes. Especially behind the scenes.” But the actor underlined that he would have fun. “I would like to do it. I know that many of us would like to do that.” However, it is also about “finding the right story”.

Apparently, a sequel has been in discussion for a long time. In November 2024, co-star Thomas Ian Nicholas (45) at the Rhode Island Comic Con reveal that “American Pie 5” had already been negotiated “for the summer of 2021”, but the responsible persons could not agree. Tara Reid (49) then said she heard “what you wrote in the script”. That is “really funny”.

Everyone has their own ideas – they enclosed, emphasized Jason Biggs. Basically, the actor now sees the right time for a fifth part of the former teen film. “Nostalgia is very popular.”

A small, nostalgic “American Pie” review recently existed when Biggs and his wife Jenny Mollen (46) gathered the former colleagues Alyson Hannigan (51), Mena Suvari (46), Chris Klein (46) and Shannon Elizabeth (51) as part of the TBS show “Dinner and a Movie” to see once. “I think you can say with certainty that this American Pie film series, and especially the first film, the success of this film, is something very special and unique,” said Biggs in the “People” interview. “We are the only ones who have it. In this sense we are a family, and it is as if we would grow up in the same household as a brother and sister. We are the only ones who can talk about how it was to grow up with their parents in this house.”

“American Pie – like a hot apple pie” celebrated its premiere in 1999. The strip over four high school friends in search of sexual experiences achieved cult status. Three further sequels followed, the last of which came out “American Reunion” in 2012. There was also a spin-off film series that was available directly on video: “American Pie Presents” consisted of five films that were published between 2005 and 2020.
