Danny McBride will play Mick Dundee’s long lost son in the excellently-named Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home, which will be out this winter.

“Crocodile Dundee is back”, reads a synopsis for the film.

“Well, actually, he’s missing in the Outback. And the only person who might be able to find him is the loudmouthed American son no one knew he had.

“Introducing Danny McBride as Brian Dundee. This son of a legend is forced to channel his Aussie roots as he embarks on the ultimate adventure in the land down under.”

Fans of the original will be pleased that Paul Hogan is still heavily involved, and will return as Mick Dundee.

Crocodile Dundee is a film that has stood the test of time,” Hogan told PEOPLE. “It was a defining moment in my life and one of my proudest accomplishments.

“Throughout the past few years, I’ve been thinking about how to bring Dundee to a new generation. I’m excited to introduce the new Crocodile Dundee to the world and look forward to sharing more news about those involved very soon.”
