Spaceballs: The New One (2027)

Spaceballs: The New One is a highly anticipated space opera comedy sequel to the 1987 cult classic Spaceballs, produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Directed by Josh Greenbaum with a screenplay co-written by original star Josh Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez, the film promises to return to the satirical roots of the original while introducing new characters to the galaxy.

The cast brings back key figures from the original film, including Mel Brooks as Yogurt, Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, and Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa. Joining them are new additions such as Lewis Pullman, Coco Palmer, Anthony Carrigan, and George Wyner, who will portray fresh roles in this continuation of the adventure. The film continues to explore themes of galactic politics and absurdity, maintaining the franchise's signature style of parodying iconic sci-fi tropes.
