Kenan Thompson & Kel Mitchell Reteaming On Horror Comedy ‘Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein’

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, the stars of Nickelodeon’s Good Burger films and ’90s sitcom Kenan & Kel, are set to reteam as producers and stars of Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein, a horror comedy co-produced by Thompson’s Artists for Artists and Range Media Partners, which will shoot this summer.

Inspired by the classic Abbott and Costello monster films, 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.

Jonah Feingold (At Midnight, 31 Candles) is writing the script. Thompson and Mitchell are producing alongside John Ryan Jr., Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan, with Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber exec producing. Range Media is handling sales.

Thompson announced the new project this evening on Prime Video’s Good Sports. In a statement, he said, “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.”

Said 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.”

SNL‘s Thompson first met Mitchell during work on the Nickelodeon sketch show All That before going on to work with him on Kenan & Kel (1996-2000), Good Burger (1997), and most recently, Good Burger 2 (2023). Thompson and Ryan Jr. are represented by Range Media Partners; Mitchell by Innovative Artists, Untitled Entertainment, and Mark S. Temple; and Feingold by UTA, Untitled, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
