Good Burger stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell will reunite to go up against one of the most famous monsters in fiction. The pair are developing Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein, a horror comedy which will begin production this summer.
The film will follow “two delivery drivers whose routine drop-off takes a terrifying turn when they arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle and accidentally awaken Frankenstein’s monster — turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival.” It is inspired by the Abbott and Costello monster films of the 1940s and 50s where the pair met Universal’s many monsters beginning with 1948’s Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein will be written by Jonah Feingold (At Midnight) will Thompson and Mitchell producing through Thompson’s Artists for Artists alongside Range Media Partners.
“Kel and I have always loved finding new ways to work together, and this project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected,” Thompson said when announcing the project in Prime Video’s Good Sports. “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”
“Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new. It’s funny, it’s scary, and it’s a great ride,” Mitchell added.
Thompson and Mitchell have worked together many times beginning with Nickelodeon’s All That before starring in their own sitcom Kenan & Kel. The duo starred in Nickelodeon’s fan-favourite comedy Good Burger and reprised their roles in 2023 for Good Burger 2.
