”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 press release reads.
Reacting to the sequel news, Thompson said in a statement, “I can’t believe it’s been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger!”
He added, “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.”
Meanwhile, Mitchell added, “Ed is one of those timeless characters that has brought so much joy and laughter to fans, and it’s such a beautiful blessing to still be doing it after all these years. It’s super awesome to come back and continue the stories of Dex, Ed and Good Burger for both the people who grew up watching and their kids.”
The 1997 comedy film was directed by Brian Robbins and written by Dan Schneider. For the unversed, the film was based on the comedy sketch of the same name on the Nickelodeon series All That.
