‘Very Young Frankenstein’ Comedy in the Works at FX, Mel Brooks Exec Producing

As a reminder, it’s pronounced “Fronk-en-steen.”

FX is developing a comedy titled Very Young Frankenstein, inspired by Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedy classic Young Frankenstein. Brooks is among the project’s executive producers along with producing partner Kevin Salter and three alumni of FX’s What We Do in the Shadows — Stefani Robinson (who will serve as showrunner should the project move forward), Taika Waititi and Garrett Basch. Disney’s 20th Television is the studio (forerunner 20th Century Fox released the film). Michael Gruskoff, who produced the film, is also an EP.

FX and 20th TV declined comment.

More to come.
