The third BILL & TED movie, BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC will head into production this summer filming in New Orleans for an August 2020 release. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will reunite after 27 years as Ted “Theodore” Logan (Reeves) and Bill S. Preston Esq. (Winter) in the new film directed by Dean Parisot (GALAXY QUEST). The franchise's original creators Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon have penned the script and if all that wasn't enough for you, today we have word that William Sadler will be back as Death! The movie's official Twitter account let us all know today that 

For those who have been asking, @Wm_Sadler will totally be reprising his role!

BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY followed the amiable slackers as they are once again roped into a fantastical adventure when a villain from the future, sends evil robot duplicates of the two lads to terminate and replace them. The robot doubles actually succeed in killing Bill and Ted, but the two are determined to escape the afterlife, challenging the Grim Reaper (William Sadler) to a series of games in order to return to the land of the living.

Meanwhile, BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC follows this synopsis:

When we last met Bill and Ted they were time-traveling teenagers trying to pass history class and win the battle of the bands. Once prophesized to save the universe with their rock and roll, middle age and the responsibilities of family have caught up with these two best friends who have not yet fulfilled their destiny. They’ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns our heroes that only their song can save life as we know it. Out of luck and fresh out of inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on a time travel adventure to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it. Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, Bill and Ted find much, much more than just a song. 

BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY was directed by Pete Hewitt from a screenplay written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. Scott Kroopf produced and the movie featured Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, William Sadler, Joss Ackland, and George Carlin. The third (and final?) film is once again produced by Scott Kroopf along with Alex Lebovici and Steve Ponce. Steven Soderbergh will be executive producing along with R. Scott Reid, John Ryan Jr., Scott Fischer, and John Santilli. BILL & TED 3 starring Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and  William Sadler hits on August 21, 2020.
