SPACEBALLS, ©MGM/Courtesy Everett Collection The long-awaited Spaceballs sequel will arrive in April 2027, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Mel Brooks’ classic Star Wars spoof.
Amazon MGM Studios has set an April 27, 2027 date for the still-untitled Spaceballs sequel, which will see original cast members Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, the 99-year-old Brooks, and Rick Moranis (in his return to acting) all reprising their roles, Variety reports. The original Spaceballs was released in June 1987.
Brooks first confirmed the Spaceballs sequel in 2025 with a teaser that further spoofed Star Wars‘s opening scrawls. “Thirty-eight years ago, there was only one Star Wars trilogy,” the teaser said. “But since then, there have been … a prequel trilogy, a sequel trilogy, a sequel to the prequel, a prequel to the sequel, countless TV spinoffs, a movie spinoff of the TV spinoff, which is both a prequel and a sequel… But in 38 years, there has only ever been one Spaceballs. Until now…”

Amazon MGM Studios has been similarly coy about the comedy’s title — “the title is rumored to be the name of the movie, and plot details are being described as information about what happens in the story” and plot: a “non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two but with reboot elements franchise expansion film.”
