'Spaceballs 2' to release in April 2027

The sequel to the 1987 cult classic, featuring original stars Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis, is set to hit theaters in April 2027.

"One of the most incredible experiences ever; so much joy, fun, creativity and respect. - Daphne Zuniga"

Los Angeles, April 4

Amazon MGM Studios has locked April 23, 2027, as the release date for 'Spaceballs 2'.

The film, directed by Josh Greenbaum (Will & Harper) and penned by Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit, is shrouded in secrecy, but it's widely expected to serve as a follow-up to the 1987 cult classic helmed by Mel Brooks, who also starred in the original.

The film brings back original stars like Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, George Wynder, and Daphne Zuniga, while introducing a fresh lineup featuring Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman, and Anthony Carrigan.

In December 2025, Daphne penned a heartfelt note after attending the wrap party of 'Spaceballs 2'.

"That's a wrap! The boys & me at the Spaceballs 2 wrap party. One of the most incredible experiences ever; so much joy, fun, creativity and respect. Had many flashbacks of when we made the first film nearly 40 years ago, and maybe a few hot flashes too! @joshgad @josh.greenbaum #RickMoranis #billpullman yahoo! I really hope the world loves this movie as much as we loved making it!!!! PS you're never too old to play," Daphne posted.

Producers are Imagine's Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Jeb Brody, as well as Brooks, Gad, Greenbaum and Kevin Salter. EPs are Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez. Production companies are Imagine Entertainment, Brooksfilms Limited and Angry Child Productions.

The sequel was announced last summer in a video by Brooks.

As someone who discovered the original much later, I'm excited! But sequels to cult classics are always risky. The new writers have big shoes to fill. Fingers crossed it doesn't feel like a cheap cash grab.

Rick Moranis coming out of retirement for this? That's the real news! The man is a comedy genius. My dad used to quote "We ain't found squat!" all the time. Can't wait to watch this with him. 😄

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Hollywood today is very different from the 80s. Will the humor land the same way? I hope they don't over-modernize it and lose the original's charm. A respectful criticism: sometimes it's better to leave classics alone.

April 2027 is so far away! The wait begins. At least they are taking their time. The cast looks solid with the old and new mix. Keke Palmer is a great addition. Hope it's worth the hype!

This is awesome yaar! The first film was pure comedy gold. "May the Schwartz be with you!" 😂 If the new team captures even half the magic, it will be a blast. Definitely a theatre watch with friends.
