Amazon MGM Studios has set a premiere date for the next installment in the Spaceballs franchise, though fans will need to wait until next year. According to an initial scoop from Deadline, the film is slated to arrive in cinemas on April 23, 2027, coinciding closely with the 40th anniversary of the original 1987 comedy. Deadline reports that key performers from the first movie, such as Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, George Wyner, and Daphne Zuniga, are set to return to their characters.
Talk of a Spaceballs continuation has circulated for several years, but Mel Brooks made it official last summer through a playful video announcement that fit the film's humorous style. In response to Deadline's update, Amazon MGM Studios shared an image of the story on X, captioned 'Spaceballs: The Release Date. April 23, 2027.' The project is under the direction of Josh Greenbaum, with the screenplay crafted by Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit, per Deadline. Joining the veteran actors are newcomers including Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman, and Anthony Carrigan.
