Unfortunately, the popular trilogy written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale is not celebrating a revival - even if there are always fake accounts that claim so!

We received inquiries about a status post on Facebook in which a fourth part of the “Back to the Future” trilogy, which ended in 1990, was announced. This information is said to have come from Michael J. Fox himself.

This is what the post looks like:

Hi everyone! Today is a very important day, besides being my birthday, I'm announcing

BACK TO THE FUTURE IV!!!!!!

We thought about it for many years and we started shooting it last summer. I'll reveal the release date in a few days.

Love you all!!!!

So can fans of the series actually look forward to a new adventure with Marty McFly and Doc Brown?

Unfortunately not. It is actually a hoax .

The fact check

The Facebook account itself does not seem particularly trustworthy because it is an unverified account. The text also doesn't seem particularly serious with its spelling and grammatical errors.

The account has now been deleted and the original postings are no longer accessible.

The photo used is not from June 2018, but from a 30-year “Back to the Future” celebration at Comic-Con London in 2015, where Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly), Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) and Lea Thompson (Lorraine Baines McFly).

So far, no industry service has confirmed the filming of a fourth part and director Robert Zemeckis expressly denied filming a fourth film in 2015. “Only over my dead body” - that's what he said in an interview and pointed out that they had to wait until he and Bob Gales - who co-wrote the scripts - died before they could make a remake.

Result:

This status post is a hoax. There are currently no plans to shoot a fourth part of the “Back to the Future” series.

Fans who are still waiting for a sequel should be told: it is extremely unlikely.
