The beloved sci-fi classic, "Back to the Future," will remain untouched, insists its screenwriter, Bob Gale. Amidst rising speculation fueled by the success of "Cobra Kai," a TV series continuation of the "Karate Kid" films, talk of a possible "Back to the Future" TV series has stirred fans' hopes. However, Gale, co-creator of the iconic trilogy directed by Robert Zemeckis, firmly shut down any notions of expanding the franchise.

In a candid conversation with People, Gale expressed his frustration over the persistent questions about the franchise's future. "I don't know why they keep talking about that!" he exclaimed. "I mean, do they think that if they say it enough times, we're going to actually do it?" Gale reiterated a resolute stance against sequels, prequels, or spin-offs, stating, "Never. It's just fine the way it is. It's not perfect, but as Bob Zemeckis used to say, 'It's perfect enough.'"

While Gale's voice is influential, he acknowledged the power of Hollywood to potentially override their stance. However, he noted that executive producer Steven Spielberg would also need to approve any revival, and according to Gale, Spielberg shares their sentiment. "Steven Spielberg, of course, he's got to sign off on it too. And Steven, just like he won't allow another E.T., he totally respects the fact that we don't want any more Back to the Future," Gale said, appreciating Spielberg's support.

Gale's firm position on keeping the "Back to the Future" trilogy as is was evident in his previous comments. In February, he delivered a blunt message to fans eager for a "Back to the Future 4": "People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?' And we say, ‘F**k you.'"

The original "Back to the Future" film, released in 1985, follows high school student Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) as he is accidentally sent back in time by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd). This film became one of the most iconic sci-fi movies ever made and led to two successful sequels.
