Will Ferrell’s return as Ron Burgundy in Anchorman: The Legend Continues now has an official release date of December 20, 2013 per Paramount Pictures.
The “Anchorman” sequel pot came to a slow boil when Ferrell popped up on Conan in full Ron Burgundy attire to announce the sequel’s existence. This was followed by short teaser trailers that dragged in Burgundy’s newscasting buds played by Steve Carell, David Koechner and Paul Rudd.
New characters will undoubtedly be introduced in Anchorman: The Legend Continues and one of them is expected to be played by Kristin Wig. If Wig is confirmed, she could theoretically take over the female lead from Christina Applegate whose name has not been attached to the sequel as of yet.
With the release date now exactly a year away, expect to see Anchorman: The Legend Continues casting and story details start to trickle out over the next few months. Please check out the original Anchorman if you haven’t already or have no idea what the movie is about.
