Zoolander Movies: Release Order
The Zoolander series is a satirical take on the fashion industry, following the ridiculously good-looking but intellectually challenged male model Derek Zoolander as he navigates conspiracies, rivalries, and existential crises. Ben Stiller both directs and stars in these absurdist comedies that skewer the superficiality of the modeling world.

The sequel picks up fifteen years after the original, reuniting Derek and his rival-turned-friend Hansel for another outrageous adventure when they're pulled back into the spotlight to help solve a series of celebrity murders.
