Q&A: Asked about Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

What is Anchorman 2's release date? Jul. 1, 2012

As of July 2012, Anchorman 2 is being planned for a late 2013 release. In a recent interview, Steve Carrell said Anchorman 2 would start filming in February or March 2013. Given the limited post-production work likely needed for the highly anticipated comedy sequel, a late August 2013 release is certainly possible (very tight though!). Otherwise, a November 2013 or summer 2014 release will likely be in the cards. Link
