'Good Burger 2' Has Begun Filming In Rhode Island


Welcome to Production, home of the Good Duction, can I take your order? On Thursday, production on the Paramount+ original movie Good Burger 2 began in Providence, Rhode Island.

The sequel to the 1997 comedy starring the returning Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell has outfitted an old Friendly's restaurant which closed in 2019 to be the new Good Burger. Filming will continue in Providence, Warwick, East Greenwich, and other parts of Rhode Island, for about the next month, until production wraps around June 22, or so is expected. The new Burgermobile for the film has also been seen, a slick convertible outfitted like a bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich, or so it's been described, sits in the Friendly's lot. and has already seen usage.

A lot of Rhode Islanders are going to be full actors as well as extras, recruited by the Rhode Island Film & Television Office. Fans flocked to the set, and Thompson and Mitchell took time to meet many if not all of them, prioritizing those with special needs

Callbacks and 'member berries will apparently be aplenty, but at least it seems, with a new roster of co-workers for Ed (Mitchell), that Otis (Abe Vigoda), Monique (Shar Jackson), Spatch (Ron Lester) and Fizz (Josh Server) have moved on from fast food and hopefully in better places. Dexter (Thompson) was doing pretty well for himself until the plot of the movie kicks in. He is unfortunately down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails. Ed (Mitchell) gleefully welcomes him back to Good Burger, giving him his old job back. Dex devises a plan to get back on his feet but unfortunately puts the fate of Good Burger at risk.

Mitchell played Ed over 25 times over his five-season tenure on All That, mostly during the "Good Burger" sketches the film drew from, performing it again in the tenth anniversary special in 2005, the aforementioned 2015 Tonight Show sketch, and then 6 more times in the 2019-2020 eleventh season, and then again back on The Tonight Show when announcing this sequel. Thompson's Dexter was a character original to the film, playing customers like Lester Oakes Construction Worker in the original sketches. Recently, Kel posted on Instagram his getting shaved for production, on the belief that because Kel doesn't have facial hair in his original appearances, he doesn't have facial hair at all.

Providence's ABC6, WLNE has captured footage of filming. Good Burger 2 is expected to premiere on Paramount+ somewhere around Thanksgiving.
