At 96 years old, it doesn’t appear that Mel Brooks is slowing down in his advanced years because the consummate performer will naturally return to star in “History of the World, Part II.” And similar to the first edition of this hilarious history homework, he’ll almost definitely be playing multiple roles in the movie.
Although, he won’t be doing all of the comedic heavy liftings by himself. “The Mindy Project” and “Blockers” star Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes of “black-ish” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and eclectic funnyman Nick Kroll from “Big Mouth,” “The League,” and the “Sing” movies (seen below in the full image from the header of this slide) join Brooks as the leads and the writing team of the new show. There will also likely be a number of cameos to round out the casts of each sketch, but details on who we can expect have yet to be confirmed.
Behind the scenes, the four leads also serve as executive producers for this Searchlight Television and 20th Television production alongside David Stassen, Kevin Salter, David Greenbaum, and Christie Smith.
