This Is The Correct Order To Watch The American Pie Movies

“American Pie” was not only one of the defining sex comedies of the early 2000s, but it also jump-started the careers of many now-notable actors. While this franchise isn’t the first to tackle the sexual frustrations of high school, it was the first to do it in such a bold way.

Penned by then-first-time writer Adam Herz, the film was sold for a reported $650,000 to Universal Studios (per LA Times) ahead of its eventual release in 1999. By featuring the genuinely impressive comedic talent of performers such as Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Natasha Lyonne, Jennifer Coolidge, and Eugene Levy, these movies managed to land with audiences looking for a hilarious time.

Although they’re not high art by any means, “American Pie” became a huge box office success and spawned a number of films as a result. The “American Pie” franchise includes the original four movies (spanning from 1999 to 2012), and then another five spinoffs between 2005 to 2020 that remain distinct from the original storyline. Each film takes place at East Great Falls High which remains the major connecting tissue for each story, regardless of how generally disconnected they seem. Because of this, it’s important for any prospective fan of this low-brow comedy franchise to know where to start their viewing journey. Read on to learn the correct order to watch the “American Pie” movies.
