Mel Brooks History of the World Part 2 Coming to Hulu
History of the World: Part 2 is finally set to arrive forty two years after the original film. The original History of the World: Part One is a comedy film written, directed, and produced by Mel Brooks that was released in 1981. The film is a spoof of historical epics and is structured as a series of sketches that parody various periods and events in world history.
Some of the historical periods and events depicted in the film include the Stone Age, the French Revolution, and the Roman Empire. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, and Dom DeLuise, among others. The film is known for its irreverent humor and satirical take on historical events and figures.

The format for History of the World: Part 2 is changing from a feature film to a limited series featuring eight episodes. EW released a gallery of images from the upcoming series, which you can check out.
History of the World: Part Two will feature the talents of Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, and Ike Barinholtz. The series promises to cover such eras as the building of the pyramids, the American Civil War, the Russian Revolution, and “much, much more.”
While a sequel was never actually planned, the film’s title was actually a play on Sir Walter Raleigh’s book The History of the World, Volume 1. History of the World: Part One ended with a fake teaser that promised fascist ice skating, biking funerals, and more in a second part. It’s unclear if any of those promised sketches make their way into the series, but the image of Sykes, Barinholtz, and Kroll providing commentary at an ice rink certainly seems to pay homage to the promised sketches.
