# Amazon is bringing back Rick Moranis for the Spaceballs sequel

> Amazon MGM Studios is set to release a sequel to Spaceballs, with Rick Moranis returning as Dark Helmet after a long hiatus from live-action films. The original cast, including Mel Brooks and Bill Pullman, will reprise their roles alongside new additions like Josh Gad and Keke Palmer. The film, described humorously as a ‘Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two,’ is scheduled for a 2027 release, marking 40 years since the original film's debut.

Amazon MGM Studios is working on a *Spaceballs* sequel, and a new cast photo confirms that Rick Moranis will be back after a decades-long break from live-action films to reprise his role as Dark Helmet. Moranis’ last live-action movie was *Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves*, released in 1997, and while *Deadline* reported earlier this year that Moranis would be returning for *Spaceballs 2*, now it’s official.

Mel Brooks, Daphne Zuniga, Bill Pullman, and George Wyner are also coming back for *Spaceballs 2*, and they’ll be joined by new cast members Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman, and Anthony Carrigan. Details about the plot are under wraps, but “in typical Mel Brooks fashion, the film has been described as ‘A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film,’” Amazon says.

*Spaceballs 2* is scheduled to hit theaters in 2027, 40 years after the original’s debut. The film was announced earlier this year in a video with a *Star Wars*\-like title crawl parodying the massive number of sequels and spinoffs across *Star Wars* and other big entertainment franchises. (The black-and-white cast photo released today seems to be a nod to *Star Wars*, too.)
