FX has official given a pilot order for comedy series, Very Young Frankenstein.

The new series is based on Mel Brooks‘ 1973 horror parody Young Frankenstein.

The cast includes Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), Dolly Wells (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), Spencer House (“Space Force”), Nikki Crawford (“Cruel Intentions”), Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals), and Cary Elwes (Saw) as the President of the United States.

Brooks is executive producing alongside a trio of key creatives from FX’s What We Do in the Shadows: Stefani Robinson, who will serve as writer and showrunner; Taika Waititi, who will direct the pilot; and Garrett Basch.

Other executive producers include Brooks’ producing partner Kevin Salter (“History of the World, Part II”) and original Young Frankenstein producer Michael Gruskoff. 

20th Television is the studio behind the project, which will stream on Hulu should it be picked up.

In the original film, an American grandson of the infamous scientist, struggling to prove that his grandfather was not as insane as people believe, discovers the process that reanimates a dead body.
