\t\u201cWelp, Paramount + decided to cancel the ‘Workaholics’ movie,\u201d DeVine wrote to his followers. \u201cObviously, this news is the loosest butthole. We were suppose to begin filming in 5 weeks! [Paramount+] told us [we] don’t fit their new ‘global’ strategy. We are deeply butt hurt about this decision because we were so excited to bring the weird one last time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI’m butt hurt that I don’t get to work with my best friends again,\u201d DeVine continued. I’m butt hurt for the fans, and I’m butt hurt for our loyal crew, and other cast members who are now going to have to scramble to find new jobs. We are out to other streamers, and hopefully we will get to make this insanely fun movie somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n
