The Big Time Rush Reunion: Massive 2025-2026 Worldwide Tour and Movie Rumors
The biggest news for fans of the Nickelodeon sitcom is the group's continued, massive success as a touring act. The initial reunion in 2021 has blossomed into a full-fledged global tour that has sold out venues worldwide, including iconic spots like Madison Square Garden. The current and upcoming tour schedule is a clear indicator that the group is fully committed to their musical comeback.
The In Real Life Worldwide Tour and College Dropout Tour
The band is currently in the middle of their 'Big Time Rush In Real Life Worldwide Tour', with dates scheduled throughout 2025. This tour has allowed them to perform their classic hits like "Boyfriend," "Windows Down," and "Til I Forget About You," alongside newer material. The demand was so high that they announced an extension: the 'College Dropout Tour', adding 15 new U.S. shows and extending their commitment well into 2026.
This extensive touring schedule, which includes stops at colleges and major arenas, confirms that Big Time Rush is no longer a nostalgic novelty act but a contemporary pop-rock group with a dedicated, multi-generational fanbase. The group's work ethic and commitment to their music have surprised many critics and solidified their place as a legitimate musical entity.
Is a Big Time Rush Movie Really Happening?
Adding fuel to the reunion fire, James Maslow confirmed in 2025 that a Big Time Rush movie is actively in development. While details remain scarce, the possibility of a new cinematic adventure featuring the original cast—Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan—has generated immense excitement among the fan community. This project would follow the success of their previous television movie, Big Time Movie, and provide a fresh chapter for the characters a decade after the series finale.
The movie news, coupled with the extended tour, suggests that the BTR brand is being strategically revived across all media platforms, ensuring the Big Time Rush cast remains relevant and in the public eye for years to come.
The Unexpected Success of the Supporting Cast: From Rocque Records to Sundance
While the four boys dominate the music charts, the supporting cast members who played pivotal roles in the Nickelodeon sitcom have also found significant, and in some cases, surprising success in their post-BTR careers.
Ciara Bravo (Katie Knight)
The younger sister of Kendall Knight, Katie Knight, was played by Ciara Bravo, who has since forged a serious and respected career in dramatic acting. Bravo has successfully shed her child star image by taking on challenging, mature roles in major projects. The most recent and notable example of her success is her involvement in the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
Bravo attended the festival for the premiere of her new film, "Last Days," a significant achievement that highlights her transition into independent and prestige cinema. Before this, she received critical acclaim for her role in the 2021 film Cherry, starring Tom Holland, demonstrating her versatility and commitment to dramatic roles far removed from the comedy of Rocque Records.
Stephen Kramer Glickman (Gustavo Rocque)
The band's loud, impatient, yet secretly caring manager, Gustavo Rocque, was played by Stephen Kramer Glickman. Glickman has diversified his career across acting, comedy, and voice work.
- Animated Film Projects: Glickman announced a new CG-animated short film titled 'Enormous', which he wrote and created, set to debut in 2025. This project showcases his talent behind the camera as a writer and creator.
- Podcast Host: He continues to host his popular podcast, "The Night Time Show," where he interviews celebrities and comedians, maintaining a strong presence in the entertainment world.
Tanya Chisholm (Kelly Wainwright)
Tanya Chisholm played Kelly Wainwright, Gustavo’s long-suffering and highly competent assistant. While Chisholm's recent public acting credits are less frequent, she has leveraged her extensive background in film, television, and dance into a fulfilling career as a professional acting coach. A graduate of UCLA’s School of Theater, Film, and Television, Chisholm now focuses on mentoring the next generation of performers, drawing on her experience from Big Time Rush and her earlier roles, such as Marcie in Legally Blondes (the third installment of the popular film series).
The entire cast for Big Time Rush, from the main four band members to the beloved supporting stars like Ciara Bravo and Stephen Kramer Glickman, are clearly thriving. Their ability to reunite for a massive, successful tour while simultaneously pursuing diverse and high-profile solo careers in music, film, and comedy proves that the 'Big Time Rush' era is far from over—it's just entering its most exciting phase yet.
