Paramount+ Has Receipts And Conceits In 'Good Burger 2' Trailer
Your refills and new adventures of Ed and Dexter are just three weeks away
Paramount+ has released the official trailer and some official stills for Good Burger 2, the long awaited sequel bringing Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell together once again 26 years after the first film based on the beloved All That sketch.
The classic combo is back. The new adventures of Ed and Dexter Reed start with a minor vehicle collision. Dex is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails, so while freshening up in facility bathroom, Dexter asks Ed if he can be hooked back up with a job at Good Burger, where Ed now has a long-changed group of co-workers. While there, Dex devises a plan to get back on his feet that puts the fate of Good Burger at risk once again. Those co-workers include Alex R. Hibbert as Ed2, Ed's mini-me son and the restaurant's newest trainee Kamaia Fairburn as the cool and confident Mia, who works there to support her mother, Fabrizio Guido as Mr. Jensen, who struggles to keep the employees in line, and twins Elizabeth and Emily Hinkler as cooks Cindy and Mindy. Anabel Graetz's Ruth is the most senior staff member.
The new trailer shows the film has upped the ante on Ed’s hallucination with a broader array of talking menu items now including multiple burgers, a fries, a ketchup dispenser, and a strawberry shake. Ed practices his tennis serve on a veggie burger request and plunges the shake machine. On a visit to MegaCorp, they’re pitched by Jillian Bell as CEO Katt Boswell and Lil Rel Howery as MegaCorp's lawyer Cecil McNevin on bringing Mega Good Burgers global, but instead they’re hustled. The restaurant’s shut down, and everyone’s fired, replaced with robotic likenesses, or at least Ed’s. There’s disguises and chases galore, and we get our first look at the return of Carmen Electra’s Roxanne, who may very well have married Ed in between films as she carries who looks to be a second younger son of Ed’s.
Notably, in addition to the already-mentioned cast members and the previously announced returns of Lori Beth Denberg finally confirmed to be Connie Muldoon and Josh Server as Fizz, who very well may not have moved on as he’s still in uniform, we finally get a full(ish?) list of cast members revealing some of those celebrity cameos that were promised to be announced rather than just stuck in there: Marsai Martin, Yung Gravy, former Double Dare host (and thus, its Kenan vs. Kel episode) Liza Koshy, Nicole Byer, Kai Cenat, former Crashletes host and NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, Ron Funches, Flula Borg, social media impressionist Matt Friend, Mark Cuban and two of Kenan’s Saturday Night Live co-stars, Molly Kearney and Ego Nwodim. Nwodim has another Nickelodeon Paramount+ movie coming out in December, Baby Shark’s Big Movie!
I will note that on October 13, the weekend of New York Comic-Con, NBC’s Today did give a sneak peek of this trailer while it was shown in full to congoers, following it up with revisiting Al Roker’s set visit. Good Burger 2 is directed by Phil Traill, who directed 25 episodes of The Middle, as well as episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Single Drunk Female, and written and executive produced by the writers of the original film, Kevin Kopelow & Heath Seifert, who were also major writers on All That, with additional writing from James III, who wrote with them on season 11.
Good Burger 2 debuts exclusively on the streamer in the United States and Canada on November 22, coming to the United Kingdom and Australia one day later. Further international rollout on Paramount+ shouldn’t be too long after.
