Is American Reunion the last American Pie movie?

It depends on how you look at things. As of this writing, American Reunion is the last entry in the main American Pie film series. There has been talk of an American Pie 5, but nothing concrete has happened. For more on that, see the next section of the guide. If you consider the American Pie Presents films to be part of the series, then no, American Reunion isn’t the last American Pie film. American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules was released in 2020. The film doesn’t feature any characters from the previous movies, but the character Stephanie Stifler is said to be Steve Stifler’s cousin.

Is there an American Pie 5 coming out?

As of this writing, there are no confirmed plans for American Pie 5. There have been numerous discussions about a potential film over the years, but it’s never gone far enough to reach active development. Speaking to The Direct, American Pie producer Craig Perry says it’s a matter of finding the right idea. "You know, there's been a lot of effort to try and do another movie in the 'American Pie' franchise. I think time, circumstance, schedule, getting the right idea has just been a little bit elusive, so we have yet to be able to figure out how to crack that.”

While American Pie 5 isn’t in active development, in 2022 ,it was reported that Sujata Day was developing a new film for the American Pie Presents spinoff series. As of this writing, there have been no updates on the project, and it’s unknown if it’s still in development.

Why wasn’t Oz in American Wedding?

According to Oz actor Chris Klein, his character is missing from American Wedding because the producers never asked him to participate. Speaking to Huffington Post in 2012, Klein said that reports of scheduling conflicts and his turning down the role are false, and the decision to leave Oz out was made by someone at the studio level. Nobody from the studio or production side of things has ever explained why Klein wasn’t asked back, so it ultimately remains a mystery. However, Klein would reprise his role as Oz for the 2012 film American Reunion. During the film, the character Oz states that he regrets being absent from Jim and Michelle’s wedding, which almost serves as a meta-statement.

Where can I watch American Pie?

If you want to watch American Pie and American Pie 2, you’ll need a Netflix subscription. The streaming service is currently home to the first two American Pie films. However, if you’re looking for the rest of the series and the American Pie Presents spin-offs, then you’re out of luck. As of this writing, those films aren’t available on any streaming service. However, they can still be rented or purchased digitally from a variety of video-on-demand platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and Apple TV. Please note, the availability of these titles may change as streaming licenses expire and new deals are made.
