Something spooky is afoot at FX once more, following the run of What We Do in the Shadows, as creatives Taika Waititi and Stefani Robinson reteam for the Young Frankenstein reboot titled Very Young Frankenstein, with Mel Brooks serving as executive producer.
FX has officially given the show a series order after previously ordering a pilot back in September 2025. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know so far about the series based on the 1974 classic comedy, ranging from who is set to star, the premise, and creatives, to when it will likely arrive on the network. Stay tuned for additional details in the months ahead.
