Last month Ron Burgundy made an appearance on Conan announcing that Anchorman 2 is finally being made. More recently, Adam McKay interviewed and hinted at the storyline of the upcoming comedy.

"I don't want to give away too much, but I'll just give a couple pieces of ideas that we've kicked around. Keep in mind we're still writing the story, but I'll say one phrase for you: custody battle. I'll give you that. I'll give you one other one: bowling for dollars."

He also spoke about why it took so long to make the movie:

Well, first off, we went and did some other movies; that was the initial delay. By the time we heard from enough fans and heard enough of the demand for a sequel, it had been a few years. We went to the studio and they kind of weren't into it initially. They said the original one made pretty good money, but for what it made we'll give you this and this, and it was a very low budget. We would have all been working for free to do it."

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy starred Christina Applegate, David Koechner, Fred Willard, Fred Armisen and Chris Parnell.
