’21 Jump Street 2′ due 2014

21 Jump Street 2 will hit cinemas in 2014.

Sony Pictures has confirmed that Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum will reprise their roles as police officers Schmidt and Jenko in the follow-up to 2011’s hit comedy.

The first film, which is based on the 1987 TV show of the same name, follows two bumbling police officials who go undercover at a high school to discover the origins of a deadly new synthetic drug.

The film’s script was written by Hill and Michael Bacall, who are expected to pen the sequel.

There is no word yet on whether directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller will return to helm the sequel as they are working on bringing children’s toy Lego to life on the big screen.

Actor Dave Franco recently hinted that he may be involved in the sequel, despite his character being caught and jailed in the first film.

He said: "I’ve heard little things. They claim I’ll be around. Who knows how much they can use me because I’m in jail at this point but I’m hoping they can find a creative way to have me be a pivotal part of the story."
