Zac Efron stars as frat president Teddy Sanders in "Neighbors", a comedy about a young couple suffering from arrested development who are forced to live next to a fraternity house after the birth of their newborn baby.Glen Wilson—Universal Studios by [Entertainment Weekly](/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Entertainment Weekly Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Feb 7, 2015 3:00 PM CUT Universal announced Friday that _Neighbors 2_, featuring the first movie’s stars Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, and Rose Byrne, is heading to theaters May 13, 2016\. Director Nick Stoller will return to helm the sequel. _Neighbors_ follows a war of pranks and wits (sort of) between young parents played by Rogen and Byrne and the frat boys, led by Efron, who move in next door to them. Though _Neighbors_ ended on a conciliatory note between Rogen’s new dad and Efron’s frat boy, surely more hijinks (possibly involving Robert de Niro [costumes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH-OKwQFIrc "undefined")) can ensue. The film made around $268 million worldwide. Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver of Point Grey Pictures will produce the follow-up, which will be executive prouced by the original’s writers Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, and Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake of Good Universe. Cohen, O’Brien, Stoller, Rogen, and Goldberg will all write the movie. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/06/neighbors-2-rogen-and-efron-its-way "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3699918/neighbors-2-rogen-efron/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3699918/neighbors-2-rogen-efron/"},"headline":"Neighbors 2 With Seth Rogen and Zac Efron Is on Its Way","datePublished":"2015-02-07T15:00:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:14:01.491Z","description":"The first one made about $268 million worldwide","url":"https://time.com/3699918/neighbors-2-rogen-efron/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07609f059a3401bd/69877e222dce013dd79dd6bc/neighbors-efron-rogen.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Entertainment Weekly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07609f059a3401bd/69877e222dce013dd79dd6bc/neighbors-efron-rogen.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Film Title: Neighbors","caption":"Film Title: Neighbors","creditText":"Glen Wilson—Universal Studios","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3699918/neighbors-2-rogen-efron/","name":"Neighbors 2 With Seth Rogen and Zac Efron Is on Its Way"}}]}] ```
