'Good Burger 2' Is Good To Go With Kenan Thompson And Kel Mitchell Returning
It's officially happening. Good Burger 2 has been greenlit, and it's coming to Paramount+. And of course, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are returning for this sequel to the beloved 1997 film.
Thompson, who played Dexter Reed, and Mitchell, who played Ed, confirmed the news during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, arguably the culmination of a seven and a half year journey that began with a Good Burger sketch on the very show in September 2015. The sketch went on to garner 27 million views on YouTube.
It would be the first of many televised appearances together, including on the NickRewind block, Wild n' Out, Double Dare, even the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards. The pair would even executive produce a revival of the sketch comedy series where their careers, the Good Burger sketch, and the character of Ed originate: All That. Mitchell would play Ed 25 times over his five season tenure on the series, performing it again in the tenth anniversary special in 2005, the aforementioned 2015 sketch and then 6 more times in the 2019-2020 eleventh season. Thompson's Ed was a character original to the film, playing customers like Lester Oakes Construction Worker in the original sketches.
Most recently, the pair reunited where Thompson has been working since 2003, as the longest tenured cast member on Saturday Night Live in a sketch that revives the Nickelodeon sitcom they did together: Kenan & Kel. In the sketch, called "Kenan and Kelly" it was at the behest of episode host Keke Palmer, who of course had her own Nickelodeon history and played Kelly, but Kel still appeared in a supporting capacity.
As for the film itself, production will begin in May and premiere later this year. The premise reads "Dexter Reed is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails. Ed welcomes Dex back to Good Burger with open arms and gives him his old job back. With a new crew working at Good Burger, Dex devises a plan to get back on his feet but unfortunately puts the fate of Good Burger at risk once again."
It will be directed by Phil Trailland written and as executive produced by the writers of the original film, Kevin Kopelow & Heath Seifert, who were also major writers on All That, with additional writing from James III, who wrote with them on season 11. The director of the first film, Brian Robbins, was a producer of All That for its first ten seasons, and is nowthe current President and Chief Executive Officer of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon.
