The original Spaceballs is nearly 40 years old, and yet the brilliance of Mel Brooks continues to shine through, inspiring generation after generation. All these years later, it has even inspired a sequel, spearheaded and co-written by Josh Gad. It’s called Spaceballs: The New One, and it’s going to hit theaters next April as part of the 2027 movie schedule. And, apparently, it was an even younger generation, represented by Gad’s daughter, that inspired the actor and comedian to approach Brooks and pitch the sequel.
