Although the title has yet to be confirmed by Universal Pictures, Production Weekly reports that the sequel will be called Neighbors: Sorority Rising. With the first flick having centered on the battle between a couple (played by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) and the fraternity next door (led by Zac Efron), it looks like a sorority may take over the house vacated by the frat. Assuming that the script goes that direction, Moretz will likely be the sorority equivalent of Efron’s character and take the lead in another neighborhood war.
Moretz’s Twitter announcement supports this theory. As she put it, “it’s the girls’ time to take over.” It’ll be the actress’ first comedy, but we like her confidence.
Excited to announce I’ll be apart of #Neighbors with @Sethrogen – Buckle up people …it’s the girls’ time to take over.. ;)

Rogen, Byrne, and Efron are all due to reprise their roles. Meanwhile, director Nicholas Stoller will be back as well, along with Evan Goldberg and James Weaver, who will produce alongside Rogen. Andrew Jay Cohen, Brendan O’Brien, Nathan Kahane, and Joe Drake will serve as executive producers. Currently in the works, the script will be penned by Rogen, Stoller, Golberg, Cohen, and O’Brien.
Neighbors 2 is now set for release on May 20, 2016.
