Euphoria star Eric Dane joins Bad Boys 4 with returning cast
Eric Dane is best known as Cal Jacobs in Euphoria. In the Zendaya-led HBO series, he is a successful businessman and father of one of the main characters, Nate (Jacob Elordi). Other notable works of his include Grey’s Anatomy, The Last Ship, and American Carnage. Soon, he will be in the thriller Borderline with Samara Weaving, the action flick One Fast Move, and the thriller Dangerous Waters, which stars the late Ray Liotta.
Jerry Bruckheimer, Smith, and Doug Belgrad will produce. Lawrence, James Lassiter, Chad Oman, Mike Stenson, Barry Waldman, and Jon Mone will executive produce.
Bad Boys for Life was released at the perfect time. It hit theaters on January 2020, right before COVID hit and shut things down. During its theatrical run, it grossed $426 million off a $90 million budget.
Fans have been waiting for a third season of Euphoria, but details on what’s to come next for Eric Dane and the rest of the cast have been quiet. Zendaya has pitched an idea that it would have a time jump to take the high schoolers into full adulthood, but nothing has been confirmed if that is the direction.
