When asked about when production would begin rolling on the sequel, Reynolds seemed cautious but hopeful about the chance production would soon commence:

The percentage chance? I don’t know. I couldn’t assign a percentage to that. I’d say it’s 50/50 maybe? We’re really actively developing it and getting it into pretty good shape.

He went on to improve on those odds, clarifying:

What the hell month is it? August? Oh next year? Probably pretty damn good. I’d say 70%.

Bob’s Burgers writers Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are currently working on the screenplay.

Speaking about working with the sisters, Reynolds was full of praise for them:

They’re incredibly talented and so, so smart. They so understand that world and know how to zig when everyone’s expecting a zag, so it’s been a lot of fun.

While the film doesn’t yet have a director attached, it sounds optimistic that once that director is in place, it will only be a matter of time before the cameras are rolling.
