Holy Spaceballs, it’s real! After nearly 40 years of fans joking, begging, and merchandising every last thing except an actual sequel, Spaceballs 2 is officially happening, and Mel Brooks is back as Yogurt! That’s right, folks: the 99-year-old legend has donned the golden robes once more to teach us the true power of the Schwartz (and probably sell us more lunchboxes).

The teaser just dropped and it doesn’t waste time: Mel Brooks shows up on screen and basically says, “Yep. We’re actually doing this. The Search for More Money is ON.” Not a dream. Not a drill. Not a fake trailer some fan made in their garage with a Roomba dressed as Dark Helmet.

The movie, now officially titled Spaceballs 2: The Schwartz Awakens (yes, they WENT THERE), is aiming for a theatrical release in 2027: just in time for the original’s 40th anniversary!

Brooks isn’t writing or directing this one, but he is acting, which is like Yoda showing up to your birthday party. The film’s being directed by Josh Greenbaum, with a script by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad, who’s also expected to star, possibly as a rebooted Barf. No one’s saying yet, but we’re hoping for maximum absurdity.

And let’s talk about that official description from Amazon:

“A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”

Translation: We have no idea what’s going on, and we love it.

For longtime fans, this is the moment we thought we’d never get, mostly because Star Wars itself seemed done in 1987. But now that the galaxy has exploded into sequels, prequels, streaming shows, and Baby Yodas by the dozen, it only makes sense for the Schwartz to rise again.

So, who’s excited to go back to ludicrous speed? Who’s ready to drink canned air? Who’s still got their Spaceballs: The Flamethrower?
