**Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell Reunite to Star in New Horror Comedy: Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein**
Longtime comedy partners Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are coming together once again to revive a stone-cold horror classic. The duo is set to star in *Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein*, a horror comedy inspired by the beloved *Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein*. Production on the film is scheduled to begin this summer.
In this new comedy, Thompson and Mitchell will portray a pair of hapless delivery drivers whose routine drop-off turns into a living nightmare. When the duo enters a forbidding castle, they inadvertently awaken the undead creation of Dr. Frankenstein!
Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson shared his enthusiasm, saying, “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.” Producer John Ryan Jr. added that the film can be described as “*Shaun of the Dead* meets *Scooby-Doo*.”
**A Look Back at Kenan and Kel’s Remarkable Partnership**
Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell first teamed up on the Nickelodeon sketch series *All That*. One of the show’s most iconic sketches, *Good Burger*, was eventually spun off into a feature film in 1997. The duo also starred in the popular Nickelodeon sitcom *Kenan & Kel*. Recently, they reunited for the Paramount+ film *Good Burger 2*, reigniting the magic that fans have cherished for decades.
**What Is ‘Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein’ About?**
The original *Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein* was a 1948 comedy romp that revitalized the careers of comedy partners Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. The film follows baggage handlers Chick Young (Abbott) and Wilbur Grey (Costello), who stumble upon two unusual crates—one containing Frankenstein’s Monster and the other holding Count Dracula’s coffin.
As the story unfolds, the duo gets entangled with a mad scientist, an undercover insurance investigator, and Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.), cursed to become the Wolf Man under a full moon. The resulting hijinks and monster mayhem made the film a huge hit and led to several sequels, where the pair met other classic monsters such as the Mummy, the Invisible Man, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
**Behind the Scenes of Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein**
*Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein* will be produced by Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, John Ryan Jr., Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan. Executive producers for the film include Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber. The script is penned by Jonah Feingold, known for his work on *At Midnight* and *31 Candles*.
Fans of both classic monster movies and Kenan and Kel’s unique brand of comedy have much to look forward to with this fresh, exciting project. Stay tuned as more details and updates are announced!
