Mel Brooks announces the title for the Spaceballs sequel: Spaceballs: The New One.

      During Amazon MGM Studios' presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas yesterday, the legendary actor and filmmaker Mel Brooks made an appearance through a pre-recorded video message to officially unveil the title of the forthcoming Spaceballs sequel. Unfortunately, it’s not the long-anticipated The Search for More Money, but rather Spaceballs: The New One. Here’s Mr. Brooks himself making the announcement…

      The sequel to Brooks’ beloved 1987 parody is directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar), featuring a screenplay by Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit. Brooks will reprise his roles as Yogurt and President Skroob, while Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement to once again portray Lord Dark Helmet, reuniting with Bill Pullman (Lone Starr), Daphne Zuniga (Queen Vespa), and George Wyner (Colonel Sandurz).

      In addition to the returning cast from the original film, new characters in the Spaceballs universe include Lewis Pullman as Starburst, the son of Lone Starr and Vespa, as well as Keke Palmer as Destiny, alongside Josh Gad and Anthony Carrigan in yet-to-be-revealed roles.

      Spaceballs: The New One is set to hit theaters on April 23, 2027.
