"Back to the Future Screenwriter Firmly Rejects Any Prequel, Spinoff, or Sequel"

Author : Thomas May 21,2025

The iconic Back to the Future franchise will never see a revival, insists its screenwriter Bob Gale. Amidst swirling rumors sparked by the Cobra Kai creators about a possible TV series, Gale firmly shut down any speculation in a recent interview with People.

"I don't know why they keep talking about that!" Gale exclaimed. "I mean, do they think that if they say it enough times, we're going to actually do it?" He categorically dismissed any chance of a Back to the Future 4, a prequel, or a spinoff, emphasizing the trilogy's "perfect enough" state as per director Robert Zemeckis.

However, executive producer Steven Spielberg's approval would be essential, and according to Gale, Spielberg respects their desire to keep Back to the Future untouched. "If the juggernaut of corporate America or corporate international mishigas says, ‘If you don't agree to this, we're going to kill your children,’ alright, well, no, we don't want our children killed,’" Gale humorously added, highlighting the extreme scenarios needed for a revival.

Gale's sentiments align with his past statements, including a blunt message to fans in February: "People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?' And we say, ‘F**k you.'"
