Spaceballs 2 Officially in Development for 2027

Spaceballs 2, the sequel to Mel Brooks' cult classic Star Wars parody, is officially in development and expected to release in 2027, nearly 40 years after the original. Returning cast members include Mel Brooks (Yogurt), Bill Pullman (Lone Starr), and Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet), joined by Lewis Pullman as Lone Starr's son, creating a real-life father-son duo. The film will satirize modern Hollywood's focus on sequels, reboots, and franchises, with a script described as both a sequel and a franchise expansion. Tim Russ has hinted at reprising his memorable role from the original film. Some fans are cautious about the new installment due to the failure of the 2008 animated series, raising quality concerns. Anticipation is high that Brooks will parody contemporary filmmaking technology for comedic effect.
