Get ready to say “Hey you guys!” again, as a sequel to the beloved 1985 film “The Goonies” is finally happening. The Sun reports that production is set to begin next year, with a possible release in 2026 or 2027.
The original cast, including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton, are all expected to return. Sadly, several cast members have passed away since the film’s release, including John Matuszak, Anne Ramsey, Mary Ellen Trainor, Keith Walker and Lupe Ontiveros.
Sources say the sequel will cater to both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers, capitalizing on the current popularity of youth adventure films. Producers are aiming for a plot that will recapture the magic of the original while offering a fresh and exciting story.
The original “Goonies,” directed by the late Richard Donner and featuring a story by Steven Spielberg, followed a group of kids on a thrilling quest for buried treasure. Although discussions about a sequel have been ongoing for years, Spielberg himself has admitted that finding a worthy idea has been a challenge.
With the project finally greenlit, fans are eagerly awaiting more details on the sequel’s plot and the roles the returning cast members will play. The “Goonies” legacy is sure to be carried on in this new adventure, promising to rekindle the spirit of the original and introduce a new generation to the joys of pirate treasure and family friendship.
