Paramount Plus to hop in a shopping cart and crash into a new Jackass series

Paramount+ evidently agrees, because after the box office and streaming success of Jackass Forever, it’s making more Jackass. The big question is what that actually means, since leader Johnny Knoxville has recently indicated that he’s not especially interested in putting himself through this kind of torture anymore, but that doesn’t preclude him from masterminding a new generation of Jackass stunts that he doesn’t have to do himself—perhaps with some of the new jackasses who appeared in Forever, like Sean “Poopies” McInerney, Zach Holmes, and Rachel Wolfson, who was the first female member of the cast.

Or maybe it’ll just be Knoxville making Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, and Preston Lacy go through some more horrible shit for his amusement. That would also be fun! Or maybe Knoxville could turn this into a stealth reboot of Wildboyz and just let Pontius and Steve-O do whatever they want… not that Pontius and Steve-O ever seem like they’re in danger of not getting to do whatever they want. So it really is good for everyone involved that humanity’s bloodlust for Jackass stunts has never gone away. (We would watch at least one whole episode about the big hand gag.)
