The cult classic movie Good Burger officially has a second installment coming nearly 26 years later.

The film, originally a ‘90s sketch that first aired on All That in 1994 and later turned into a movie in 1997, officially has another movie set to release soon. Duo Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson reunite with many other original cast members to bring one new movie that will have many excited.

When it came to making a movie over two decades later from the original, the team also said that the case was more than excited to be apart of a new installment. In addition, the writers of the film even said that the nostalgia of the original was a big part of the premise for viewers.

Thompson stated, “I can’t believe it’s been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger! Being a part of something so many generations of people have come to love has made me so proud and now to be back where it all began working on the sequel is surreal! Love performing with my brother Kel and can’t wait to show the fans what these characters have been up to since we last saw them.”

It’s super awesome to come back and continue the stories of Dex, Ed and Good Burger for both the people who grew up watching and their kids.”
