Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are reuniting to chase—and run away from—a monster in a horror-comedy film titled "Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein." The long-time friends and former Nickelodeon co-stars will lead the project as producers alongside their Artists for Artists company and Range Media Partners. The latter's Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Pete Micelli will handle sales.
Jonah Feingold, known for his work on "31 Candles" and "At Midnight," is writing the script, which pays homage to the classic "Abbott and Costello Meet..." films. Thompson and Mitchell will produce alongside Artists for Artists co-founder John Ryan Jr., Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan. Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber will executive produce.
The announcement was made during Tuesday's "Good Sports" on Prime Video, where Mitchell filled in for regular host Kevin Hart. Watch the announcement below.
"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."
Mitchell added, "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 the film, Thompson and Mitchell will play 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.
Thompson and Ryan Jr. are represented by Range Media Partners. Feingold is represented by UTA, Untitled, and Johnson Shapiro.
