- His upcoming project, Spaceballs: The New One, which he co-wrote and produced alongside Mel Brooks, is set for Amazon MGM release on April 23, 2027.

Josh Gad is making a major agency move. The actor, comedian, producer, and writer has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for Film/TV theatrical representation, departing his longtime home at Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
Gad remains best known globally as the voice of Olaf in Disney’s Frozen franchise. On Broadway, he originated the role of Elder Cunningham in the Tony Award-winning The Book of Mormon, earning nominations from the Tony Awards, Drama League, and Astaire Awards, while taking home the Outer Critics Circle Award.
Most recently, Gad lent his voice to Zootopia 2, which crossed $1 billion worldwide and landed a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination.
Looking ahead, he’s set to appear in Spaceballs: The New One for Amazon MGM, a sequel he co-wrote and produced alongside Mel Brooks, due April 23, 2027. He also co-created and stars in Apple TV+’s animated musical comedy Central Park alongside Leslie Odom Jr. and Daveed Diggs.
The move comes as WME continues to expand its Film/TV roster with high-profile talent moves. The agency recently signed comedian Usama Siddiquee following a standout run on Funny AF, and added filmmaker Aaron Schneider.
Gad continues to be represented by Range Media Partners for management and brand partnerships, and by ImPrint PR for publicity.
Takeaways
This is a calculated, surgical move, not a full overhaul. Gad is keeping his entire support system at Range Media Partners and ImPrint PR intact, which tells you this was purely about upgrading agency muscle.
Leaving CAA for WME with a billion-dollar franchise hit on your résumé and a major studio sequel co-written alongside Mel Brooks in the pipeline? That’s serious leverage, and Gad is clearly using it.
With Spaceballs: The New One on the horizon, does WME give Gad the platform to finally break through as a leading man rather than a beloved supporting presence? Could this signing signal that WME is building a stronger animated and comedy-focused Film/TV slate in 2026?
