June 29, 2023 – Paramount+ and Nickelodeon Studios today announced additional casting for GOOD BURGER 2, an all-new original movie sequel to the iconic ‘90s feature film based on the sketch from the comedy series All That. The movie follows Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) and original cashier Ed (Kel Mitchell), as they reunite in the present day at fast-food restaurant Good Burger with a hilarious new group of employees. The film will premiere later this year exclusively on Paramount+.
The additional cast members announced today are:
- Lil Rel Howery (Get Out, Vacation Friends) as Cecil McNevin, a lawyer for the corporation MegaCorp.

- Fabrizio Guido (Perry Mason, Mr. Iglesias) as Mr. Jensen, a 16-year-old employee who tries but often fails to keep his employees in line.
- Elizabeth Hinkler (The Good Doctor, Tiny Beautiful Things) and Emily Hinkler (The Good Doctor, Boy Erased), as Cindy and Mindy, 16-year-old identical twins who are the cooks at the restaurant.
- Anabel Graetz (Free Guy, The Mothership) as Ruth, the most senior employee at Good Burger among a bunch of teenagers.
The movie will also feature original Good Burger cast members reprising their roles: Josh Server, as Fizz, Lori Beth Denberg as Connie Muldoon and Carmen Electra as Roxanne. Additional celebrity cameos will be announced at a later date.
The original ‘90s sketch first aired on All That in 1994 and was centered around fast-food restaurant Good Burger and its clueless cashier, Ed, played by Kel Mitchell in Seasons 1–5. The feature film Good Burger was released worldwide on July 25, 1997 by Paramount Pictures. Later in the All That revival series in 2019, Mitchell returned guest starring as Ed, working at Good Burger for 20 years as manager of the trainees.
GOOD BURGER 2 is produced by Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. It was penned by Kevin Kopelow & Heath Seifert (All That, Good Burger) who also serve as executive producers, along with John Ryan Jr. from Artists for Artists. Phil Traill (The Middle, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Single Drunk Female) directs. James III (Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, All That) has also been engaged as a writer. Production of the movie for Nickelodeon Studios is overseen by Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin, Co-Heads of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action.
