'John Tucker Must Die' Projects

Playboy John Tucker would get his “karmic retribution” if a sequel got the green light.

Over a year after teasing its existence, Jesse Metcalfe says he’s read the script for the John Tucker Must Die sequel. And no, it doesn’t seem like John Tucker has returned to his womanizing ways.

Instead, Metcalfe revealed that the infamous heartthrob would be getting his “karmic retribution” by having to witness his teen daughter deal with “a bunch of John Tuckers.”

On the most recent episode of Tori Spelling’s MisSPELLING podcast, the Desperate Housewives actor shared that the script is finished and sitting at 20th Century Fox. However, he admitted that the sequel seems unlikely.

“I’d say it’s probably not gonna happen,” Metcalfe said. “They’ve been sitting on the script for a while. Everyone in the cast said they’d participate and it just hasn’t happened.”

The original 2006 film follows Heather (Ashanti), Beth (Sophia Bush) and Carrie (Arielle Kebbel), high school queen bees from different cliques who enlist the help of new girl Kate (Brittany Snow) to enact revenge on their shared lover John Tucker (Metcalfe).

Metcalfe, Bush, and Kebbel first shared news of a John Tucker sequel last year. While the costars had said the original cast would be involved, Snow and Penn Badgley, who plays John’s brother Scott, later said they hadn’t gotten a call to join the project. Although if Metcalfe’s recent comments are any indication, neither has anyone else.

Metcalfe shared one more detail about the sequel’s script, which was that John would be coaching the girls basketball team at his daughter’s high school.

“That’s the broad premise without ruining a movie that’s not even greenlit yet,” Metcalfe said.
