Fans of the Will Ferrell comedy insta-classic, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, have been waiting for a sequel for a long time. Burgundy himself confirmed the sequel in grand fashion last March, and we’ve since seen a teaser poster and some ultra-teaser trailers.

To give fans something a little more solid to schedule their year around, Paramount Pictures has announced a release date for Anchorman: The Legend Continues, sharing that they’ve reserved the December 20, 2013 spot.

Along with Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner are returning for the sequel.
