"Back to the Future Screenwriter Firmly Rejects Any Prequel, Spinoff, or Sequel"

Author : Ava Update:May 01,2025

Bob Gale, the screenwriter behind the beloved Back to the Future trilogy, has put an end to any speculation about the franchise's future. Amidst rumors fueled by the success of the Cobra Kai TV series, which revived the Karate Kid saga, Gale firmly stated there will "never" be another Back to the Future project.

"I don't know why they keep talking about that!" Gale exclaimed to People magazine. "I mean, do they think that if they say it enough times, we're going to actually do it?" He made it clear that the idea of a Back to the Future 4, a prequel, or any spinoff is off the table, emphasizing the trilogy's completion. "It's just fine the way it is. It's not perfect, but as Bob Zemeckis used to say, 'It's perfect enough.'"

While Gale's stance is resolute, he acknowledged that Hollywood's power could potentially override their decision. However, any revival would require the approval of executive producer Steven Spielberg, who Gale believes shares their sentiment against furthering the franchise. "If the juggernaut of corporate America or corporate international mishigas says, 'If you don't agree to this, we're going to kill your children,' alright, well, no, we don't want our children killed,'" Gale humorously remarked. He expressed gratitude towards Spielberg for respecting their wish to not expand the Back to the Future universe further.

Gale's comments echo his previous sentiments, as he reiterated in February with a direct message to fans hoping for a Back to the Future 4: "People always say, 'When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?' And we say, 'F**k you.'"
