HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nickelodeon Studios and
Paramount+ today 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 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+. The news was revealed on The Tonight Show Starring
Jimmy Fallon.
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.

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.
Thompson is represented by UTA and managed by Michael Goldman. Mitchell is represented by UTA
and managed by Alex Goodman at

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."

brought so much joy and laughter to fans, and it's such a beautiful

Burger for both the people who grew up watching and their
kids."
