What did we do with Good Lord 4? Is that planned? Director Philippe de Chauveron answered this question in 2022 when the last part was released in cinemas.
What have we done to the good Lord: a successful French saga
In 2014, the comedy “What Have We Done to the Good Lord?” was released in cinemas. Directed by Philippe de Chauveron, the focus is on Claude and Marie Verneuil (played by Christian Clavier and Chantal Lauby) from the upper provincial bourgeoisie, who are happy parents of four daughters. Each of them chose a husband of different origins, far removed from their parents' traditional expectations.
The Verneuils must navigate different cultures and traditions, which leads to strange situations and misunderstandings. Although the film was not unanimously celebrated, it still proved to be a huge box office success, attracting more than twelve million viewers. The 21st biggest success of all time in France.
After this resounding success, two sequels will be released in 2019 and 2022, which will continue to be directed by Philippe de Chauveron: What Have We Done to God Again? and What have we all done to the good Lord? Still, these sequels were less successful than the first, with six and two million entries respectively (the third was released during a health crisis).
Is a fourth film planned?
In the final film of the saga, the entire family comes together to celebrate the Verneuils' forty years of marriage. A sort of grand finale bouquet that doesn't necessarily require a sequel. But given the huge box office success of this franchise, one might wonder whether a fourth part is planned. In 2022, when the last part was released in cinemas, director Philippe de Chauveron stated that he did not want to continue the story of the Verneuils:
I won't do Good God 4! With the question “What have we all done to the good Lord?” the circle came full circle. I'll move on and work on another film.
he explained in an interview with Le Parisien. Since this announcement, there has been no information about a possible What We Did to the Good Lord 4? known. (although the actors seemed ready to continue this adventure). The saga seems to be finally over.
