Is Spaceballs 3 Already in the Works? Here’s What We Know
The Schwartz may be stronger than ever. While Spaceballs 2 is still on track for its 2027 theatrical release, a new rumor suggests that Spaceballs 3 could already be in early development. The scoop comes from trusted insider @MyTimeToShineHello, who recently posted on X, “MGM is already developing a SPACEBALLS 3.”
Amazon MGM Spaceballs Reboot Plans?
There’s been no official word from Amazon MGM Studios yet, but the timing makes sense. With nostalgia-fueled reboots trending and a loyal fan base still quoting Yogurt and Dark Helmet, a trilogy could be a smart move. If greenlit, Amazon MGM’s Spaceballs franchise revival could deliver a full-on parody saga for a new generation.
Spaceballs 2: The Cast and What We Know
Before we can speculate too much on a third film, let’s talk about Spaceballs 2. The upcoming sequel is described as a “Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.” In other words, it’s doing a little bit of everything—classic Spaceballs energy.
The cast includes returning legends and fresh talent. Bill Pullman is back as Lone Starr, Rick Moranis returns as Dark Helmet, and Mel Brooks reprises his role as Yogurt. They’ll be joined by Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman (as Lone Starr’s son), and Josh Gad, who is both starring and producing.
Creative Team and Franchise Momentum
Josh Greenbaum is directing the film, with a script penned by Detective Pikachu writers Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. Producers include Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Mel Brooks. The production team behind the sequel suggests serious momentum and long-term franchise planning.
A Cult Classic Gets New Life
The original Spaceballs, released in 1987, was a chaotic and loving spoof of Star Wars, Star Trek, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Despite mixed reviews at the time, it gained cult status for its ridiculous humor and endlessly quotable moments. The idea of continuing the legacy with new entries feels both timely and hilarious.
So, is Spaceballs 3 truly on the launchpad? It’s still a rumor, but the signs are pointing toward a full-blown franchise return. If Amazon MGM is serious about this, they might just pull off one of the most unexpected reboots of the decade.
