Spaceballs is coming back with Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman. Deadline reports that the new movie will also star Keke Palmer. Amazon MGM Studios will be releasing the new version of Spaceballs. Lone Starr and Dark Helmet returning is definitely going to get some of those old fans on board with a new movie.
There’s no word on who Keke Palmer is playing in the follow-up right now. The plot for the sequel is a closely guarded secret as well. Moranis is coming out of retirement for Spaceballs and that’s enough to raise a bunch of eyebrows. Mel Brooks is also going to be back as Yogurt for the sequel. You can expect the new Spaceballs movie to hit theaters in 2027, just in time to be released near Ryan Gosling’s Star Wars: Starfighter.

So, the entire Spaceballs thing was meta back in the day before that became standard operating procedure for a lot of big budget franchises. Now, the sequel enters a world where there’s been a Star Wars prequel trilogy and a sequel trilogy. How do you stand out in that kind of atmosphere? Well, by leaning into the bit even harder! Check out what a teaser video from Josh Gad had to say about this whole deal.
“I was that child who saw Spaceballs before I ever saw Star Wars and then wondered why anyone would do a dramatic remake of the Mel Brooks classic. It is therefore the greatest gift of my life to now help take the reins and work alongside Mel and this incredible group to do a sequel to the movie that first inspired George Lucas.”
