History of the World, Part II: Mel Brooks Reveals Teaser Featuring Zazie Beetz, Quinta Brunson, Kumail Nanjiani and Many Others in '4-Night' Hulu Event

Legendary funnyman Mel Brooks is on hand to tee up the first teaser trailer for Hulu’s History of the World, Part II miniseries, which of course is a follow-up to his 1981 film and, similarly, features a veritable “Who’s Who” of familiar faces.

Premiering Monday, March 6 with two episodes, and dropping two new episodes daily through Thursday, March 9,  the “four-night event” promises a variety of sketches that take you through different periods of human history.

Brooks, Kroll, Sykes, Barinholtz and Stassen all served as EPs on History of the World, Part II, alongside Kevin Salter and Christie Smith, while Stassen, Kroll, Alice Mathias and Lance Bangs took turns directing.

If you’re an “old” like me and are well-acquainted with History of the World, Part I, did this teaser assuage some concerns about a small-screen sequel?
