All those constant orders for a Good Burger 2 over the years have paid off. The sequel is finally happening! HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Kel Mitchell about Good Burger 2 just after he announced the sequel on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon alongside co-star Kenan Thompson.

“As far as Kenan and I, we’ve been wanting this to happen since the first one,” Kel told HollywoodLife at That’s4Entertainment’s 90s Con. “But we’ve known about the process of this for a long time. We’re super excited now that the burgers are back and everybody knows what’s happening. It’s going to be a great, great script. That’s the thing that we really wanted. We wanted the script to be fun for the fans of the ’90s and the kids today.”
Good Burger became a feature-length movie after the success of the Good Burger sketch on All That. At 90s Con, Kenan made a surprise appearance during the All That cast reunion panel and joined Kel, Lori Beth Denberg, and Danny Tamberelli on stage.
When the sequel begins, Kel teased that “Ed is running Good Burger, so that’s going to be awesome. You could imagine how that could go with him running it. Kenan’s character is going to get Good Burger in a little bit of trouble. That’s literally all I can say.”
The original movie also featured Shar Jackson, Linda Cardellini, Shaq, and more. Will other original cast members return for Good Burger 2? “Oh yeah. They’re in the script,” Kel said. “I can’t give away everybody as far as cameos, but there are a lot of surprises from the first one that will be in there, and then we will have more as well. And then we announced it last night and if you want to be in it, hit us up. The phone has been blowing up.”

Good Burger 2, which will premiere later this year, reunites Kenan and Kel once again. The pair notably reunited during the 2022 Emmys, which Kenan hosted, and did a Good Burger reboot skit on SNL in December 2022. “I feel like it’s a brotherhood. We just get one another,” Kel told HollywoodLife about his friendship with Kenan. “Our comedy gels together very well and we just understand each other. It’s just cool seeing us as adults and being dads and all this cool stuff where we can relate on and then talk about from when we were kids to now. We’ve known each other since ’94, so it’s almost like 30 years. It’s crazy.”

For more than a decade, Kenan Thompson’s best partner has not been someone on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ It has been Christina Evangeline, his beloved wife. The couple married in 2011, after starting to date in 2006. The two first met when she was 19, and it was love at first sight. Over the course of their 11-year marriage, Kenan and Christina welcomed two daughters into the world: Georgia, born in 2014, and Gianna, born in 2018. However, the couple reportedly called it quits in 2022 after allegedly living separated for a whole year. Kenan and Christina reportedly grew apart, with his career taking him to Los Angeles to work on his ‘Kenan’ show while she stayed in New York City. Despite this diminishing love, the two have reportedly remained friends while raising their daughters. Here, Christina Evangeline and Kenan Thompson attend the Governors Ball during night two of the Television Academy's 2018 Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
