Chevy Chase Will Return For 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' [Updated: Gillian Jacobs Signs On]

Briefly: Making a hot tub travel through time is never easy, so it's good to have a repairman on hand just in case. Thankfully, in Steve Pink's upcoming Hot Tub Time Machine 2, the original hot tub repairman will be returning. Chevy Chase has signed to reprise his mysterious role in the 2010 cult comedy. There's no word on how big his role will be this time around, but we do know the film (which also returns Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Rob Corddry) takes the friends a decade into future where they meet the son of John Cusack's character (who isn't returning) played by Adam Scott. [Deadline]Update: Deadline offers the further news that Chase's one-time Community co-star Gillian Jacobs will play the film's lead female role.
