Superbad stars Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and others will reunite for watch party in fundraiser for Wisconsin Democrats as election approaches
The stars of Superbad will reunite for a remote watch party of the 2007 hit in a benefit for Wisconsin Democrats.
Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Emma Stone, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bill Hader, Martha MacIssac, Greg Mottola, Evan Goldberg and director Judd Apatow will take part in the digital benefit.
‘It’s on – a Superbad Reunion & Watch Party to benefit @WisDems in the homestretch!’ Hill tweeted Friday. ‘RSVP and join us on Tuesday, Oct 27! #SuperbadWatchParty.’
The stars of Superbad, including Jonah Hill, will reunite for a watch party of the 2007 hit in a benefit for Wisconsin Democrats.
Rogen tweeted: ‘Wanna watch Superbad with me, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Bill Hader and MORE?? Well, you’re in luck!’
The group will add commentary to the special, which will air one week before the election between former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump.
Wisconsin Democrats, in promoting the benefit, explained their sense of urgency to finish strong after the critical swing state went to Trump in 2016.
‘If Trump wins Wisconsin, his path to an electoral college win dramatically increases,’ the political party said. ‘Your donation will go toward stopping Trump from winning back the White House.’

Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler told Deadline, ‘We are thrilled to have the cast of Superbad join us in the fight to defeat our super awful president.
