“Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?” These immortal words are knownby every person who grew up in the 1990s, and it’s a phrase that is set to be uttered once again in the long-awaited sequel to the Nickelodeon classic -Good Burger 2.
In 1994, a little show by the name ofAll Thatpremiered on the popular children’s channel Nickelodeon. It was a sketch comedy series that essentially aimed to beSaturday Night Livefor younger audiences, and it very much succeeded as it’s fondly remembered as a nostalgic comedic romp that launched the career of many child stars. Perhaps the most popular cast members ofAll ThatareKenan ThompsonandKel Mitchell, the latter of whom became best known for his iconic character of Ed - a lovable yet dopey cashier of a fast food restaurant by the name of Good Burger. Thompson and Mitchell proved to be an inseparable duo outside their tenure onAll Thatwhen they got their own show withKenan & Kel, but perhaps noticing how popular the Good Burger sketch and the Ed character were, Nickelodeon recruited the child star pair to star in a feature film based on the sketch.
Thus,Good Burgerwas born, which saw Kenan Thompson as Dexter join the staff of the restaurant and become unlikely friends with Ed. Though Dexter initially joins the staff for his own selfish reasons, he quickly grows attached to both Ed and the rest of his coworkers and helps them claim victory over their evil rival fast food restaurant, Mondo Burger. Although the film wasn’t a massive hit at the box office, it wasn’t a failure either, and both Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell have fond memories of the project. Since then, it seemed like that would be the end of Dexter and Ed’s story, although Kel Mitchell did return to play his character on occasion such as for theAll Thatrevival.
However, following their appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonin March 2023, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchellofficially confirmed that a sequel toGood Burgerwas in developmentat Nickelodeon and Paramount.Good Burger 2will see Dexter and Ed reunite for another adventure, packed to the brim with a new story, new characters, and new wacky scenarios to get involved in.
