Spaceballs: The New One is an upcoming American space opera parody film directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit.[1] It serves as the sequel to Spaceballs (1987). The film sees Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, George Wyner, and Daphne Zuniga reprising their roles from the previous film, while Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman, and Anthony Carrigan join the cast.

Production
In a 2013 interview, Rick Moranis said that he and Mel Brooks had discussed a potential sequel to Spaceballs (1987), with Moranis pitching the title Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II. However, he and Brooks were unable to structure a deal that would allow the project to move forward.[2] In February 2015, Brooks said that he would like to make a sequel to be released after the next Star Wars film and hoped that Moranis would reprise his role. This proposed film, Brooks said, may be called Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money, based on a throwaway fourth wall quote from the first film.[3] However, during an interview with Daily Blast Live in February 2020, Bill Pullman said, "It's up to Mel. Ask him if he has too much money and that's why he doesn't do it".[4]
In June 2024, it was reported that Amazon MGM Studios was developing a direct sequel to Spaceballs, with Josh Greenbaum directing and Josh Gad, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit writing the screenplay, with Gad also cast in the film and Mel Brooks producing.[5] In June 2025, it was announced that Brooks, Pullman, Moranis, and Daphne Zuniga would be returning for the sequel,[6] with Keke Palmer and Pullman's son, Lewis joining the film, cast as Destiny and Starburst. Brian Grazer was also announced to be joining the producing team through Imagine Entertainment.[7][8][9][10] It was also announced that the film would release in 2027.[11] In September 2025, it was announced that George Wyner would reprise his role of Colonel Sandurz and that Anthony Carrigan had joined the cast in an undisclosed role.[12]
The film's official title, Spaceballs: The New One, was unveiled at CinemaCon in April 2026. Brooks joked that it was no longer called The Search for More Money because he had found the money in his basement.[13][14]
Filming
Principal photography began on September 16, 2025, in Sydney,[15][16] with Jeff Cutter serving as the cinematographer.[17] Gad said filming had been completed and wrapped by December 1, 2025.[18]
Release
Spaceballs: The New One is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 23, 2027.[19][20][6][14]
