Kenan & Kel Return With Monster Mayhem in New Comedy
Comedy legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are back together for a wild horror-comedy adventure, promising laughs, nostalgia, and a monstrous twist. Find out what’s in store for their latest project.
Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, the much-loved duo from the '90s sitcom scene and the Good Burger franchise, are gearing up for a fresh on-screen reunion. This time, they’re diving into the world of horror-comedy with a new film, Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein. Both will star and take on production duties, with filming set to kick off this summer. The news dropped at the end of Prime Video’s Good Sports, where Mitchell filled in as guest host for Kevin Hart.
Thompson shared his enthusiasm for the project, saying it’s a blend of nostalgia, laughs, and a bit of the unexpected. Mitchell chimed in, noting that the film feels like a natural fit for them, letting their chemistry shine while exploring new territory. The script is being penned by Jonah Feingold, with production support from Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Carter Swan, and John Ryan Jr. The film is pitched as a cross between Shaun of the Dead and Scooby-Doo, taking cues from classic comedy duos like Abbott and Costello, as well as Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.
Back Together After Good Burger 2
This marks the first time Thompson and Mitchell have teamed up since Good Burger 2 in 2023, which itself was a long-awaited follow-up, coming 26 years after the original. In their latest outing, the pair play delivery drivers whose ordinary night takes a turn for the bizarre. A routine drop-off lands them at a spooky castle, where they accidentally bring Frankenstein’s monster back to life. What starts as a simple job quickly spirals into a wild fight for survival.
The film is a clear nod to the classic Universal monster comedies, especially Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Thompson and Mitchell are hoping their take will become a new favourite for fans of monster mash-ups and slapstick scares.
Classic Comedy Meets Modern Mayhem
With a script that promises a mix of old-school gags and modern twists, the film aims to capture the spirit of the original monster comedies while giving it a fresh spin. The creative team is drawing inspiration from the best of both worlds, blending the charm of vintage duos with the energy of today’s comedy scene.
For those who grew up watching Kenan & Kel or caught their antics in Good Burger, this new project is set to deliver a hefty dose of nostalgia. At the same time, it’s a chance for a new generation to see the pair in action, facing off against one of horror’s most iconic creatures.
Behind the Scenes and What’s Next
Alongside Thompson and Mitchell, the production team includes a mix of seasoned producers and fresh talent. The film’s announcement has already sparked plenty of buzz among fans and industry insiders alike. With filming scheduled to start soon, punters can expect more updates and sneak peeks as the project moves forward.
As the duo step back into the spotlight, they’re not just revisiting old ground—they’re bringing something new to the table, with a story that’s equal parts spooky and side-splitting. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just keen for a good laugh, Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein looks set to be a wild ride.
