Mel Brooks Announces 2027 Spaceballs Sequel Cast

Mel Brooks has officially announced a sequel to the 1987 sci-fi parody classic 'Spaceballs,' with a 2027 theatrical release from Amazon MGM Studios. Brooks will reprise his role as Yogurt and serve as producer, joined by original stars Bill Pullman (Lone Starr) and Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet), with Moranis returning to live-action film after a long hiatus. New cast members include Josh Gad, who is also co-writing and starring, and Keke Palmer, with Lewis Pullman reportedly playing the child of Lone Starr and Princess Vespa. The film is humorously billed as a 'Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.' Josh Greenbaum will direct, with Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Mel Brooks producing. The project has generated excitement due to the reunion of original cast members and Brooks's ongoing involvement.
