Good Burger 2: Release Date, Cast, Teaser, and All the Latest Updates

Welcome to Good Burger, the home of the famous Good Burger. May I take your order? These famous words will once again be heard in the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Nickelodeon classic - Good Burger 2.

In 1994, a popular children's channel Nickelodeon premiered a show called All That. It was a sketch comedy series that aimed to be the Saturday Night Live for younger audiences. It quickly became a nostalgic comedic adventure that launched the careers of many child stars. Among the most beloved cast members of All That were Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. Kel Mitchell, in particular, gained fame for his iconic portrayal of Ed, a lovable yet dim-witted cashier at the fast-food restaurant Good Burger. Recognizing the popularity of the Good Burger sketch and the character of Ed, Nickelodeon decided to cast the dynamic duo in a feature film based on the sketch.

Thus, Good Burger was created, with Kenan Thompson playing the role of Dexter, who joined the restaurant staff and formed an unlikely friendship with Ed. While Dexter initially joined for selfish reasons, he quickly grew fond of Ed and his coworkers, working together to defeat their rival fast food restaurant, Mondo Burger. Although the film didn't achieve massive success at the box office, it wasn't a failure either, and both Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell have positive memories of the project. It appeared that Dexter and Ed's story had come to an end, but Kel Mitchell returned to reprise his character for the All That revival.

However, after appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March 2023, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell officially announced that a sequel to Good Burger was in the works at Nickelodeon and Paramount. Good Burger 2 will feature Dexter and Ed reuniting for another adventure, filled with a new storyline, new characters, and new comedic situations. To find out more about the returning cast, plot details, release information, and more, here is everything we currently know about Good Burger 2.
