The Pink Panther Movies: Modern Timeline
The Steve Martin films represent a complete reboot of the Pink Panther franchise, set in the present day with entirely new continuity and cast. These films modernize the Inspector Jacques Clouseau character and the Pink Panther diamond mythology for contemporary audiences while maintaining the slapstick comedy style of the originals.
This timeline stands completely separate from the classic films and can be enjoyed without any prior knowledge of the Peter Sellers era. Kevin Kline stars as Chief Inspector Dreyfus in the first film, replaced by John Cleese in the sequel.
