‘The Naked Gun’ Trailer Intros a New Generation of the Police Squad

For those skeptical of a new The Naked Gun film, the official trailer might set your mind at ease a little. The two-minute promo shows that the 2025 version, centering around the children of the original film’s main characters, captures the vibe of the 1988 comedy.

Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, and Cody Rhodes star. Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston also star in the reboot of the comedy franchise.

“Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world! Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) follows in his father’s footsteps,” reads Paramount Pictures’ synopsis.

Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) directs and co-wrote the screenplay with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins serve as producers. Schaffer, Daniel M. Stillman, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, and Andrew Lary are executive producers.

The Naked Gun opens in theaters on August 1, 2025.
