Good Burger fans have always had an appetite for a sequel, and it's finally happening.

Stopping by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon yesterday (March 17), the duo proudly announced that they'll be reprising their beloved characters for Good Burger 2 – set to shoot this May with plans to stream it on Paramount+ later in the year.

"I can't believe it's been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger!" Thompson shared in a statement (via Variety).
"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."
Mitchell went on to add: "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."

Good Burger 2 will be available on Paramount+ by the end of 2023.
