The Title Reveal That Had Everyone Laughing

Spaceballs: The New One is a perfect callback to the franchise’s signature humor style. In the original 1987 film, a joke referenced a fictional sequel called “The Search for More Money.” This time, Brooks confirmed he found the money. He even joked he has it in a bag at his house.

A Trailer That Spoofs Star Wars, Avatar, and Hollywood Mergers
The official trailer debuted at CinemaCon and delivered hilarious sci-fi comedy gold. The two-minute preview parodies everything from Star Wars lightsaber battles to Avatar to Harry Potter. Rick Moranis, returning as Lord Dark Helmet, even appears at a urinal next to an Avatar Na’vi character. The trailer’s opening mimics The Force Awakens with desert scenes, robots, and frozen carbonite gags.
Disney-style corporate humor also features prominently. The sequel will riff on Star Trek, Alien, and modern Hollywood consolidation. Plot details remain under lock, key, and what Amazon MGM calls an “industrial-strength Schwartz shield.”
The Dream Cast Returns with Fresh Faces
Bill Pullman reprises his iconic role as Lone Starr, the galaxy’s most handsome rogue. Rick Moranis is back as the bumbling Dark Helmet. George Wyner returns as Colonel Sandurz. Daphne Zuniga reclaims her crown as Princess Vespa. Mel Brooks himself plays the wise Yogurt alongside his Schwartz-wielding antics.

“Just like the old one. But newer.”

New Generation Joins the Spaceballs Universe
Josh Gad joins as a producer and stars in a secret role. Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman (son of Bill Pullman), and Anthony Carrigan round out the ensemble. Lewis Pullman’s role is being kept under wraps, though he’ll portray a character in this expansive galaxy. The new cast members bring fresh energy to Mel Brooks’ signature parody style.
Director Josh Greenbaum helms the project, known for “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” and “Will and Harper.” His comedic sensibility perfectly matches Brooks’ legacy.
Is Spaceballs: The New One Worth the 39-Year Wait?
The original Spaceballs launched in 1987, making this sequel a 39-year gap in the franchise. Brooks announced the project in 2025 using the iconic Star Wars opening crawl. He pointed out how Star Wars spawned endless sequels, prequels, spinoffs, and television series. Meanwhile, Spaceballs remained singular until now. The pre-taped video at CinemaCon officially confirmed this gap is ending.
With returning legends, fresh talent, and trailers showcasing genuine laughs, Spaceballs: The New One promises fans exactly what they’ve waited decades to see again.
