The Munsters TV reboot in development at NBC

August 13, 2017 by Gary Collinson

The Munsters are set to make their return to the small screen, with Variety reporting that Seth Meyers is set to executive produce a reboot of the classic comedy series, which has Jill Kargman (Odd Man Out) penning the script.

Inspired by the original series – which starred Fred Gwynne as Frankenstein’s monster father figure Herman Munster, Yvonne De Carlo as Bride of Frankenstein Lily Munster, Al Lewis as vampire Grandpa Munster, Butch Patrick as werewolf son Eddie Munster and Beverly Owen/Pat Priest as normal teenage niece Marilyn – the new take “will follow an offbeat family determined to stay true to themselves struggles to fit in in hipster Brooklyn.”

The Munsters ran for two seasons between 1964 and 1966 before being cancelled due to low ratings; however, it subsequently enjoyed great success in syndication and spawned several spinoff movies and a sequel series The Munsters Today, which aired between 1988 and 1991. In 2012, Bryan Fuller produced a pilot for a reboot entitled Mockingbird Lane, although it failed to make it to series.,
