Revenge of the Nerds is an American comedy franchise. The series revolves around a group of socially-inept students (the nerds) trying to get revenge on their harassers. The series began with the eponymous 1984 film and was followed by three sequels: ' (1987), ' (1992) (TV), and ' (1994) (TV). A remake of the first film was to begin filming in October 2006 for a prospective release in 2007 but was cancelled due to problems securing a viable filming location. In December 2020, it was announced that Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane would reboot the series under his Fuzzy Door Productions label.
