Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are reuniting for their latest film project.
The dynamic duo is set to star in and produce the upcoming film “Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein.” Set in 2026, the film pays homage to the classic “Abbott & Costello” movies.
Thompson expressed his excitement to work with Mitchell in a statement.
“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. “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”
Added Mitchell, “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.”

“Me and Kenan and I actually sat down and talked about the script for part three, alright, so it’s going to go down. We’ve got to make sure it’s right, just like how ‘Good Burger 2’ was,” he continued. “We’re not gonna make you guys wait over 15 years.”
