Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are reuniting to chase and run away from a monster in an exciting new project. The longtime friends and former Nickelodeon co-stars will topline and produce *Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein*, a horror comedy set to begin production this summer.
The movie is co-produced by Thompson’s Artists for Artists company and Range Media Partners, with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Pete Micelli from Range handling sales. Jonah Feingold, known for *31 Candles* and *At Midnight*, is writing the script. The story pays homage to the classic *Abbott and Costello Meet* films.
Thompson and Mitchell will serve as producers alongside Artists for Artists co-founder John Ryan Jr., Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan. Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber are set to executive produce.
The duo’s last project together was the 2023 release *Good Burger 2* on Paramount+, and they announced this new film at the end of Tuesday’s *Good Sports* on Prime Video. Mitchell filled in for regular host Kevin Hart during the announcement.
“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 in a statement. “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”
Added Mitchell, “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.”
In *Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein*, Mitchell and Thompson play delivery drivers whose routine drop-off takes a terrifying turn when they arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle. There, they accidentally awaken Frankenstein’s monster, turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival.
Both Thompson and Ryan Jr. are represented by Range Media Partners. Fans can look forward to more updates as production on this fresh, nostalgic horror comedy gets underway.
