The Journey So Far
Blue Mountain State originally aired from 2010 to 2011, offering a comedic glimpse into the lives of college football players at the fictional Blue Mountain State University. The show delved into the antics of the Mountain Goats football team, focusing on themes like partying, hazing, and the challenges of college life. Despite its initial three-season run on Spike, the series garnered a dedicated fanbase, leading to the 2016 Kickstarter-funded film, Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland.
Revival Details
The upcoming season is being developed by Amazon MGM Studios, aligning with Ritchson's current collaboration on the series Reacher. Development has been fast-tracked and is now in its final stages, with a greenlight decision expected within a month or two. Signs have been promising, and Ritchson, star and executive producer of the follow-up, has given the new installment his seal of approval, calling it "perfect."
The original creators, Chris Romano and Eric Falconer, are believed to be returning for the sequel. Additionally, co-leads Darin Brooks and Chris Romano are expected to reprise their roles, bringing back the core trio that fans have come to love.
What to Expect
While specific plot details remain under wraps, Ritchson has expressed enthusiasm about the direction of the new season. He mentioned, "Honestly, I think it's going to be the best season of BMS we've ever had. It is so damn funny, and it's perfect, the way we resurrect the characters and bring them into the way that things are now."
Given the show's history of blending outrageous humor with genuine moments, fans can likely anticipate a continuation of the wild escapades that made the series a standout. The new season aims to capture the essence of the original while updating its context to reflect the current times.
The Road Ahead
As development progresses, anticipation builds for the official greenlight and subsequent production phases. With the original team reuniting and a platform like Amazon backing the project, the fourth season of Blue Mountain State promises to deliver the humor and heart that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
