Paramount has released the first full trailer for The Naked Gun, a reboot of the classic slapstick comedy series. Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers), the film stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., taking over from his father, the iconic Frank Drebin (originally played by Leslie Nielsen).

Set for release on August 1, 2025, the film follows Drebin Jr. as he fumbles through a major case that could decide the fate of Police Squad. Joining Neeson are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Danny Huston, Liza Koshy, Cody Rhodes, Busta Rhymes, and CCH Pounder.

Written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, the reboot blends over-the-top gags and wordplay in the style of the original films and Police Squad! series. The trailer teases the same absurd humor fans of the franchise love, updated with a new cast and bigger stakes. Producers Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins are backing the project.
