The 1987 cult classic is coming back to the big screen with a sequel! Get all the details on ‘Spaceballs 2’ here.

A Spaceballs 2 announcement trailer posted Thursday doesn’t have any solid details besides the date, though it does poke fun at the entertainment industry’s obsession with franchises and spinoffs by listing many of them out.

Josh Gad had previously revealed that he had written a sequel to Spaceballs, but beyond the fact that it existed, little was known about the movie or when we might see it. That just changed as an official Spaceballs 2 announcement just dropped that confirmed the movie is coming and set for a 2027 release. Check out the hilarious announcement above.

Lewis Pullman, son of Bill Pullman, is joining the 'Star Wars' spoof as Lone Starr's son. Plus, we have plot details.

Mel Brooks will mark the 40th anniversary of Spaceballs with … another Spaceballs. The filmmaker announced Thursday that a sequel was in the works for 2027. “After 40 years, we asked, ‘What do the fans want?'” he said in a video clip. “But instead we’re making this movie.”

This time he’ll just be acting, though, with Josh Greenbaum ( Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar) directing from a script by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad. Gad is also expected to star, but that has yet to be officially confirmed.
