Sci-fi comedy fans, rejoice! The long-awaited sequel to the cult classic Spaceballs is on its way to the big screen. Tentatively slated for a 2027 release, Spaceballs 2 is already generating buzz in the galaxy far, far away.
Mel Brooks Returns to Helm the Sequel
The original comedic mastermind, Mel Brooks, is expected to return for the sequel. Known for his sharp wit and unparalleled talent for parody, Brooks both directed and starred in the original Spaceballs back in 1987. If the new instalment mirrors its predecessor, fans can expect a hilarious send-up of today’s sci-fi trends, with plenty of jabs at popular franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, and The Mandalorian.
Brooks has hinted at his interest in revisiting the Spaceballs universe for years. During interviews, he joked about a sequel titled Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money, referencing the original’s tongue-in-cheek humour. Far from just a punchline, that vision may soon become reality.
