'Back to the Future' Screenwriter Confirms No Prequel, Spinoff, or Sequel Ever

Author : George Update:May 23,2025

Rumors of a new "Back to the Future" project have been swirling, especially after the creators of the successful "Cobra Kai" series hinted at a potential TV show. However, Bob Gale, one of the key screenwriters behind the beloved Robert Zemeckis-directed "Back to the Future" trilogy, has put these speculations to rest, firmly stating that there will be no further additions to the franchise.

In a candid interview with People, Gale expressed his frustration over the persistent questions about the future of the series. "I don't know why they keep talking about that!" he remarked. "I mean, do they think that if they say it enough times, we're going to actually do it?" He reiterated his stance on the possibility of a "Back to the Future 4," a prequel, or any spinoff, firmly stating, "Never. It's just fine the way it is. It's not perfect, but as Bob Zemeckis used to say, 'It's perfect enough.'"

While Gale's words carry significant weight, the power of Hollywood could potentially override them if it chose to revive the franchise. Yet, any such move would need the approval of executive producer Steven Spielberg, who, according to Gale, is unlikely to give the green light. Gale humorously noted, "If the juggernaut of corporate America or corporate international mishigas says, 'If you don't agree to this, we're going to kill your children,' alright, well, no, we don't want our children killed." He then expressed gratitude towards Spielberg, stating, "Steven, just like Steven won't allow another E.T., he totally respects the fact that we don't want any more Back to the Future. He gets it and always stood behind that. And thank you, Steven."

Gale's stance aligns with his previous statements on the matter. Earlier in February, he had a strong message for fans hoping for a "Back to the Future 4": "People always say, 'When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?' And we say, 'F\*\*k you.'"
