=== Development ===
In 1998, Aladdin published a children's novel, Good Burger 2 Go, that served as a sequel to the original film. The book, written by Steve Holland, featured Ed following a short-changed customer around the globe. On September 23, 2015, both Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell made a "Good Burger" sketch for a reunion on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In March 2018, Mitchell said there were talks on a Good Burger 2, and in December he and Thompson said they are open for a potential sequel or reboot.
In December 2021, the director of the original film and current CEO of Paramount Pictures, Brian Robbins, revealed he wanted to create an animated series based on Good Burger for the Paramount+ streaming service, and hoped to have Thompson and Mitchell involved at some capacity. Mitchell expressed an interest in reviving Good Burger, due to his youngest son being a fan of the film. In August 2022, shortly after receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Thompson confirmed that he and Mitchell were working on the sequel. During the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards where Thompson served as host, the duo once again hinted the sequel after performing a skit with Kumail Nanjiani. In October 2022, Thompson confirmed that the screenplay was finished, with him and Mitchell teasing the script in a joint Instagram post. In March 2023, both Thompson and Mitchell officially announced the sequel's title as Good Burger 2, in addition to both actors reprising their roles as Dexter Reed and Ed.
