The first images from 'History of the World Part II' show Wanda Sykes, Ike Barinholtz and Nick Kroll in the Mel Brooks sequel.
It's taken over 40 years to get a sequel but, hey, when you're covering the history of the world it takes some time. That's right, 42 years after Mel Brooks' hilarious film History of the World, Part I hit theaters in 1981, its sequel, the aptly named History of the World Part II is finally set for release. To get the excitement rolling, Hulu has just released several first-look images ahead of its release this spring.
The long-awaited sequel will be an eight-part series instead of a film like the original. The series will feature a variety of sketches that take place throughout the span of history. The new series will star Brooks himself along with Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, and Ike Barinholtz.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The original film also featured Brooks in several different roles and showed such situations as a sexually frustrated caveman, a chase through Ancient Rome and a musical Spanish Inquisition. The original film, of course, never intended a sequel, as the film was based on Sir Walter Raleigh's "The History of the World, Volume I," though the first film did include a teaser for a possible sequel.
Another image shows Sykes as Shirley Chisholm, the first Black candidate for a major party running for President of the United States, doing a dance number. The final first-look image shows Kroll pushing a cart for a delivery service called "Putz Mates". He is delivering mud pies to Russian revolutionaries. However, he may be bringing along more than just the requested lunch order.
Along with Brooks, the series is also produced by Kroll, Sykes, Barinholtz, David Stassen, Kevin Salter, David Greenbaum, and Christie Smith. The series will be released on Hulu this spring. Check out more images below:
