The sequel to the 1987 cult classic, Spaceballs, has a release date. The film will be arriving in theaters on April 23, 2027. This will be forty years after the world was introduced to the Schwartz.

The original Spaceballs was directed by Mel Brooks. The sequel is being directed by Josh Greenbaum (Will & Harper). The script was written by Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit. At this time, the storyline for this film is being kept under wraps. However, there will be some familiar faces. These include the 99-year-old Brooks as Yogurt, Rick Moranis as Lord Dark Helmet, Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, George Wynder as Colonel Sandurz, and Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa. These original cast members will be joined by newcomers Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman, and Anthony Carrigan.

Imagine’s Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Jeb Brody, as well as Brooks, Gad, Greenbaum, and Kevin Salter are producing the film. The executive producers are Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez. Production companies are Imagine Entertainment, Brooksfilms Limited, and Angry Child Productions.

Production wrapped on the second Spaceballs in late 2025. This gives the team plenty of time to add whatever effects are needed for this Star Wars parody. It will also undoubtedly be peppered with pop culture references. Fans now get to look forward to a teaser trailer for the film, whenever it is released.
