Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson in 'Good Burger'

With '90s nostalgia being all the rage, it was only a matter of time before another classic was rebooted.

This time, it comes in the form of Paramount+'s Good Burger 2. A sequel to the original film — which premiered back in 1997 — the second installment not only promises to bring back the laughs, but it's also bringing back some of the original cast, as well.

As we gear up for the Nov. 22 debut of the film, see what Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell and the rest of the Good Burger gang have been up to.

Kenan Thompson

Now the longest-running cast member of Saturday Night Live, Kenan Thompson first stepped on the scene as a child star back in the '90s in D2: The Mighty Ducks. Though he rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon's Kenan & Kel, the now 45-year-old actor also has credits in other major '90s TV shows. Thompson has appeared in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sister, Sister, Cousin Skeeter and The Parkers, among many other shows.

Thompson is a father to two young daughters, Gianna, 5, and Georgia, 9, whom he shares with ex-wife Christina Evangeline.

Kel Mitchell

We may never be able to dissociate Kel Mitchell from his character's love of orange soda, but outside of playing the clumsy, ditzy and oh-so-funny character on Kenan & Kel, Mitchell, like Thompson, has a solid résumé filled with '90s classics. He too was on Cousin Skeeter, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and The Parkers, among a host of other shows.

The beloved actor and comedian, 45, is a father of four. He shares son Honor, 3, and daughter Wisdom, 6, with his wife Asia Lee, whom he wed in 2012. He is also dad to daughter Allure, 21, and son Lyric, 24, from his previous marriage to Tyisha Hampton.

Shar Jackson

Another familiar face from the '90s, Shar Jackson was a mainstay on every sitcom one can think of.

Though fans will most likely recognize her from her role as Niecy on Moesha, the actress also lent her comedic chops to shows like The Parkers, My So-Called Life, Smart Guy, Girlfriends and many others. Most recently, Jackson made an appearance as Constance on season 11 of Shameless, and her last credit was in 2022's A Polished Soul, per IMDb.

Jackson, 47, is a mom of four, sharing daughter Kori Madison and son Kaleb Michael Jackson Federline with ex Kevin Federline. She also has two kids — Cassalei Monique and Donovan Jackson — from a prior relationship.

Carmen Electra as Roxanne

Carmen Electra

Playing Roxane — the undercover hired hand for Good Burger's competitor — was one of Carmen Electra's earlier roles. The actress, now 51, would go on to snag a recurring role on Baywatch from 1997 to 1998 before starring in Uptown Girls, Cheaper By the Dozen 2, Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie and Scary Movie 4 in the early aughts.

Linda Cardellini as Heather

Linda Cardellini

Though Heather's crush on Ed was unrequited, in real life, Linda Cardellini has been madly in love with her partner, Steven Rodriguez, since grade school. The two didn't get together until much later, and they welcomed their daughter, Lilah-Rose, in February of 2012.

Career-wise, Cardellini, 48, has been on a steady upward trajectory since her Good Burger days. She landed roles in Scooby Doo: The Movie, Legally Blonde, The Lazarus Project, Green Book and more. Cardellini has also forged a successful TV career which includes roles in Freaks and Geeks, E.R., Mad Men, and Dead to Me.

Sinbad as Mr. Wheat

Sinbad

Playing Mr. Wheat — the school teacher whose run-in with Dexter sets off the entire movie — was Sinbad, real name David Adkins.

Though Sinbad, 67, has appeared in several films and TV shows throughout the course of his career, people mostly know him as a legendary stand-up comedian who's churned out specials such as Sinbad: Where U Been?, Sinbad: Afros and Bellbottoms, Sinbad: Son of a Preacher Man and Sinbad: Nuthin' But the Funk.

Josh Server

Josh Server will be reprising his role as Fizz, the Good Burger drive-through maven, in Good Burger 2.

Much like his Good Burger costars, Server rose to fame on All That and was one of the stars who reunited with the gang on Wild 'N Out in 2018. He also appeared on the show's 2019 reboot. The 44-year-old spoke at the ceremony for Kenan Thompson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in August 2022.

Lori Beth Denberg as Connie Muldoon

Lori Beth Denberg

Easily one of the most recognizable faces of Nickelodeon, it was clear Lori Beth Denberg was a star when she seamlessly helmed multiple sketches on All That. She starred in favorites like "The Loud Librarian" for four seasons before leaving the series in 1998.

She then followed that up with her role as Lydia Gutman on The Steve Harvey Show, from 1999 to 2002. Denberg, now 47, also appeared as a minor character in the 2004 comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller before coming on as a guest star on All That's 2019 reboot.
