What happens

The Are We There Yet? franchise is an American media franchise produced by Cube Vision and Revolution Studios. It consists of two theatrical family-comedy films and a television series. It centers around bachelor Nick Persons (portrayed by Ice Cube) who becomes infatuated with single mother Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long) and finds himself becoming a stepfather to her two children. Each installment details the comedic circumstances that arise as he adjusts to his new role. The first film was met with negative reception, though it turned a profit at the box office. The sequel was poorly received critically, while also earning less than half monetarily than its predecessor. The television series spin-off was additionally received with negative reception from critics and viewers alike. In June 2026, it was announced a third film is in development, titled "Are They Gone Yet?" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
