SACRAMENTO–

Sorry, Sacramento. The sequel to the beloved 2008 comedy “Step Brothers” isn’t coming to town.

The rumor began to circulate Sunday and Monday on Facebook, citing a news site called Miss Open. The false synopsis puts Dale (John C Riley) and Brennan (Will Ferrell) in Sacramento, looking for an apartment.

But is a sequel even in development? Just a few months ago, director Adam McKay said “not right now” when asked about a possible sequel by IGN. There has been no official word from McKay, Ferrell or Riley about bringing the characters back for another Catalina Wine Mixer.

Another obviously fake site, Local News 33, posted the same rumor but swapped Sacramento for Richmond, Virginia.
