Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein is getting even younger.

FX has given a series order to Very Young Frankenstein.

The series comes from Stefani Robinson, Taika Waititi and Garrett Basch, veterans of numerous FX hits including “What We Do in the Shadows,” with Mel Brooks also serving as an executive producer. Very Young Frankenstein features Zach Galifianakis, Dolly Wells and Spencer House.

“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,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “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.”
