Paramount+ is welcoming hungry followers again to Good Burger, house of the Good Burger, after greater than 20 years.
Nickelodeon Studios has formally greenlit Good Burger 2, a sequel to the 1997 movie which starred Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as a pair of semi-competent quick meals staff. The announcement was made on Friday throughout Thompson and Mitchell’s look on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
In this long-awaited sequel, Dexter Reed (Thompson) and Ed (Mitchell) will “reunite in the present day at fast-food restaurant Good Burger with a hilarious new group of employees,” per the official description. More particularly, “Dexter is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails, so 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.”
Production on Good Burger 2 begins in May. The film is anticipated to debut on Paramount+ later this yr.
“I can’t believe it’s been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger!” Thompson says. “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.”
Adds Mitchell, “Ed is one of those timeless characters that has brought so much joy and laughter to fans, and it’s such a beautiful blessing to still be doing it after all these years. 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.”
The Good Burger franchise was born of Nickelodeon’s All That, the place it started as a recurring sketch in 1994. Thompson and Mitchell have reprised their roles a handful of instances in recent times, together with a 2015 sketch on The Tonight Show and a 2022 sketch on Saturday Night Live.
