History of the world part II

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. And though the details regarding the varied segments are currently under wraps, the series will take viewers to such time periods as the building of the pyramids through the tumult of the Civil War, and, of course, beyond.

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. Such teased sketches include "Hitler on Ice" and "Jews in Space" but it's unclear whether either of these sketches will come to fruition. Brooks wrote and directed the first film and also serves as a writer and executive producer on the sequel series.
