Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, said in a statement regarding the new show:

“‘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.”

Disney hasn’t confirmed when the series will be arriving on the FX linear channel and on Hulu/Disney+ around the world, but its likely going to be in 2027, since they’ve only filmed the pilot so far this year.
