This year, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, one of the quintessential 80s teen comedies, turns 40 years old. One of the many classics directed by John Hughes, it was a star-making turn for its lead, Matthew Broderick, who played the titular charming, popular slacker who goes on a wild adventure with his friends to make the most out of his day of skipping class. While it was a monumental, quotable moment for the Tony winner that remains his most iconic role in film, it also helped launch his on-screen best friend, Alan Ruck, and girlfriend, Mia Sara, to fame as well. Yet, since then, the trio haven’t properly shared the screen on another project.

All three have kept busy of late, at least. Broderick was most recently heard as part of the cast of the Adventure Time spin-off, Fionna & Cake, while also popping up in Elsbeth Season 2, Only Murders in the Building Season 3, and leading Netflix’s 2023 opioid miniseries, Painkiller. Ruck, meanwhile, is coming off the acclaimed People We Meet on Vacation adaptation and spent years as part of the incredible cast of HBO’s Succession, while Sara recently returned to the screen for the first time in over a decade to join Mike Flanagan‘s take on Stephen King‘s The Life of Chuck. At long last, though, at least two of them will be on-screen together again.

Broderick and Ruck are currently bound to reunite for a new comedy titled The Best Is Yet to Come from director Jon Turteltaub and writer Allan Loeb. While it was formally announced last year, the pair opened up to Parade recently about what it was like working together again, four decades after their iconic collaboration. “It felt like we hadn’t stopped,” Ruck said about stepping back on set with his old co-star. “It didn’t feel like 40 years had gone by. So it was easy, you know.” From the way he describes it, their comedic chemistry hasn’t aged since their days playing Ferris and Cameron.
