Though Dave Chappelle reportedly won't be back, HalfBaked 2 will see the return of Mary Jane actor Rachel True.
The upcoming stoner comedy sequel Half Baked 2 will feature Rachel True reprising her original role. True played Mary Jane Potman in the 1998 film Half Baked, which starred Dave Chappelle, Jim Breuer, Harland Williams, and Guillermo Díaz, as a group of friends who love smoking weed. She is the love interest for Chappelle's character Thurgood, which presents a problem considering the fact that - despite her suggestive name - she is vehemently anti-drug.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Deadline, Half Baked 2 has just wrapped production in Baton Rouge. The film, which will be released non-theatrically in 2023, has announced that True officially reprised the role of Mary Jane. So far, she is the only returning cast member who has been confirmed to appear in a major role, though Williams is also set to make a special appearance.
The film was helmed by Naked and A Haunted House director Michael Tiddes, who has collaborated with star Marlon Wayans no fewer than five times, originally starting as an assistant on such films as White Chicks and Little Man. Screenwriter Justin Hires has a similar pedigree, with experience as an actor in projects like 21 Jump Street, Key and Peele, and the Rush Hour TV adaptation.
Why Isn't Half Baked 2 Getting a Theatrical Release? Many-years-later sequels are quite common in modern filmmaking, including such disparate entries as Top Gun: Maverick, Scream 2022, and next year's House Party reboot. However, in spite of this, there are still currently no plans for Half Baked 2 to screen in theaters. Most likely the reason for this is the fact that the original film was a cult hit that earned most of its notoriety on home video. The film made a respectable $17.
