Spaceballs 2 Plans November 2027 Theatrical Release With Original Cast Reunion

Amazon MGM Studios has officially begun production on the long-awaited sequel to the 1987 cult classic Spaceballs, with a planned 2027 release. The original cast members Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Mel Brooks, and George Wyner are reprising their iconic roles, with Moranis making his first live-action appearance in nearly 30 years. The sequel, directed by Josh Greenbaum and co-written by Josh Gad—who also stars and produces—introduces new characters, including Lewis Pullman as the son of Lone Starr and Vespa, and Keke Palmer in an undisclosed role. The film honors the legacy of John Candy's character Barf, with Gad and the Candy family ensuring the character's presence despite Candy's passing. While plot details remain under wraps, the sequel is described as a "Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film," promising a mix of new and nostalgic sci-fi parody elements. The project reflects a blend of returning favorites and fresh talent, aimed at expanding the Spaceballs universe for a new generation of fans.
