On Tuesday, the comedic duo was spotted filming the much-anticipated sequel to the hit 1997 filmGood Burgerwhile dressed in their iconic blue and white pinstripe uniforms in the streets of Los Angeles.
Good Burgeris known for its Mitchell-led sketch in the ’90s Nickelodeon kids' comedy seriesAll That, where his character Ed was often seen unintentionally terrorizing Thompson’s various characters and others. Thompson, 45, later starred in the film version ofGood Burgeralongside Mitchell, 44, in which theSaturday Night Livestar played high school student Dexter Reed, who reluctantly gets a summer jobat the restaurant.
While the film has no release date set as of yet, fans can expect Thompson and Mitchell to stay true to the film’s roots, as anews release for the projectstates that Dexter Reed and Ed will reunite in a present-day version of the restaurant with a “hilarious new group of employees.”
“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,” expressed Mitchell in a statement through the release.
“I can’t believe it’s been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger!” Thompson said in a statement. “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.”
