The comedy pilot "Very Young Frankenstein", based on the 1974 cult classic Mel Brooks film "Young Frankenstein", has been picked up to series by FX. The show hails from "What We Do In the Shadows" trio Stefani Robinson, Taika Waititi and Garrett Basch, who will executive produce alongside Brooks. Waititi directs from a script by Robinson.
The cast includes Zach Galifianakis, Dolly Wells, Spencer House, Nikki Crawford, Kumail Nanjiani and Cary Elwes. Character details are under wraps, as is the plot of the series. Brooks' original film was a spoof of Universal monster movies of the 1930s and 1940s, and starred Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman and Teri Garr. It was nominated for two Oscars (Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound).
Nick Grad, President of FX Entertainment said the following: "'Very Young Frankenstein' blends inspiration from the fan-favorite movie with the inventive, irreverent spirit that has defined FX comedies over the years, making this a completely original take on the classic story. In the hands of FX veterans Stefani, Taika and Garrett, alongside the iconic Mel Brooks, we know that fans will have as much fun watching this series as we’re having making it".
Michael Gruskoff and Kevin Salter also executive produce. The series is produced by 20th Television.
