Comedy duo Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell (Good Burger, Kenan & Kel) are reuniting as producers and stars for an upcoming horror-comedy movie inspired by the classic Abbott and Costello monster films.
Co-produced by Thompson’s Artists for Artists and Range Media Partners and written by Jonah Feingold (At Midnight, 31 Candles), Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein follows 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.
No news yet on who will play the Creature and join Jacob Elordi and Christian Bale in the recent canon of Frankenstein‘s monster adaptations.
Thompson announced Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein yesterday on Prime Video’s Good Sports, saying:
“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. We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”
Mitchell adds:
“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.”
Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein marks the first project the pair have worked together on since 2023's Good Burger 2, and the latest horror-based slice of Kenan & Kel horror news, following the report that Thompson's AFA is rebooting slasher cult classic Sleepaway Camp, with original writer-director Robert Hiltzik returning to write and direct.
Shooting this summer, Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein is produced by John Ryan Jr., Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan alongside Thompson and Mitchell, with Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber exec producing. Range Media is handling sales.
