HOLLYWOOD - Nickelodeon Studios and Paramount+ announced the greenlight of GOOD BURGER 2, an all-new original movie sequel to the iconic '90s feature film based on the sketch from the comedy series "All That." The movie will follow Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) and original cashier Ed (Kel Mitchell), as they reunite in the present day at the fast-food restaurant Good Burger with a hilarious new group of employees. Production will begin in May, with a premiere slated for later this year exclusively on Paramount+.
In GOOD BURGER 2, Dexter Reed is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails. 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.
The original '90s sketch first aired on "All That" in 1994 and was centered around fast-food restaurant Good Burger and its clueless cashier, Ed, played by Kel Mitchell in Seasons 1–5. The feature film "Good Burger" was released worldwide on July 25, 1997, by Paramount Pictures. Later in the "All That" revival series in 2019, Mitchell returned guest starring as Ed, working at Good Burger for 20 years as manager of the trainees.
Said Thompson, "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."
GOOD BURGER 2 is penned by Kevin Kopelow & Heath Seifert ("All That", "Good Burger"), who will also serve as executive producers. Phil Traill ("The Middle," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Single Drunk Female") will direct. James III ("Tyler Perry's Young Dylan," "All That") has also been engaged as a writer. Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin, Co-Heads of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action, oversee the movie's production for Nickelodeon Studios. Brittany Cope serves as Nickelodeon's Executive in Charge of Production.
