Thompson shared a statement via press release on the significance of the sequel.

"I can't believe it's been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger!" he said. "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!"

He added, "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's statement read: "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" began as a sketch on the Nickelodeon series "All That" and spawned a fan-favorite film in 1997.

The sequel will premiere later this year.
