Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are officially teaming up again — this time stepping into horror-comedy territory.
The longtime collaborators are set to star in and produce Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein, a new feature inspired by the classic Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters films. The project will be co-produced by Thompson’s Artists for Artists banner alongside Range Media Partners, with production expected to begin this summer.
The film follows two delivery drivers whose routine drop-off spirals into chaos when they arrive at an eerie, out-of-place castle and accidentally awaken Frankenstein’s monster — turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival. The concept blends slapstick comedy, suspense, and nostalgic genre homage, positioning the project as a modern spin on classic monster movies.
The screenplay is written by Jonah Feingold (At Midnight, 31 Candles). Thompson and Mitchell will produce alongside Artists for Artists co-founder John Ryan Jr., with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Carter Swan also producing. Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber are on board as executive producers. Range Media Partners will handle sales.
Thompson announced the project during an appearance on Prime Video’s Good Sports, sharing that the film felt like “the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected.” Mitchell echoed that sentiment, adding that the project allows them to tap into what audiences love about their dynamic while pushing into new creative territory.
The duo first met on Nickelodeon’s All That before becoming pop-culture fixtures through Kenan & Kel (1996–2000) and Good Burger (1997). They most recently reunited onscreen for Good Burger 2 in 2023 — a return that hinted more collaborations were on the way.
With Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein, Thompson and Mitchell appear ready to build on their legacy while experimenting with genre, proving their chemistry still has room to evolve — even when monsters are involved.
