In a recent interview, actor Jason Biggs hinted at the possibility of another instalment in the beloved “American Pie” franchise. The original film, which debuted in 1999, has captured the hearts of many and inspired a total of three sequels, with the latest being “American Reunion” released in 2012. Fans of the series may yet have more to look forward to if Biggs’s comments are anything to go by.

Speaking to the New York Post, the 47-year-old actor, known for his portrayal of the well-meaning, yet awkward, Jim Levenstein, suggested that discussions about a fifth film have not ceased. “There’s always talks,” he stated, indicating that the allure of revisiting the characters remains strong among the cast and fans alike. He expressed a keen willingness to return if the right storyline comes along.

Biggs reflected on his time within the “American Pie” universe fondly, stating, “I think it would be so much fun. I love playing that character. I love working with those guys and gals. Everybody is just – it’s family, you know?” His sentiment resonates with many who grew up alongside the characters as they navigated the trials and tribulations of adolescence and young adulthood.

The actor’s connection to the film series runs deep. In a previous conversation in 2025, Biggs detailed how the role still holds a special place in his heart, signalling a nostalgia that remains rampant among fans. “There’s enough fans,” he noted, pointing to the enduring love for the film that continues to thrive in popular culture.
Aside from cinema, Biggs has managed to hold onto memorabilia from the franchise, although much of it remains in storage. He revealed that he possesses all the scripts and various publicity materials associated with the films. However, his fondest keepsake seems to be his Band Camp shirt, a token from one of the film’s most memorable scenes, even if he can no longer fit into it.
The nostalgia surrounding “American Pie” has been further highlighted by recent reunions of its cast. In 2025, Biggs had the opportunity to revisit the franchise during a special episode of “Dinner and a Movie” alongside his wife, Jenny Mollen. Notably, he was joined by fellow cast members including Alyson Hannigan, Mena Suvari, Chris Klein, and Shannon Elizabeth, suggesting that the camaraderie from the original filming persists.
Hannigan, who became well-known for her infamous line, “this one time at band camp…” also shared her experiences with fans. In a reunion interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2019, she reflected on how fans continue to approach her with that line, even 20 years after the film’s release. “Yeah, they still do that,” she admitted with a hint of amusement. “Which was fine before I had children, but now I’d really like them to just be like, oh I recognise you, wink wink.”
The interplay between nostalgia and contemporary sentiment around youth culture has created a fertile ground for discussions about another film. While Biggs emphasised the importance of a compelling narrative, the appetite for a new chapter in the “American Pie” saga remains vibrant, especially with the rise of retro-themed entertainment appealing to the current generational landscape.
As of now, fans of the franchise will have to await further updates on the potential fifth film. However, Biggs’s openness to revisiting the role of Jim Lavenstein, combined with the enthusiasm of the original cast, suggests that the whimsical charm of “American Pie” may not yet be done entertaining audiences. For lovers of the classic comedy, the prospect of reconnecting with these characters seems ever more tantalising.
