New Title for The Munsters TV Series Reboot

For marketing reasons, you'd think this would be considered an odd move, but the reboot of The Munsters TV series has a new title. It has been announced that the official title will be Mockingbird Lane, which isn't too much of a departure for fans of the series who are quite familiar with that street name.

NBC and Bryan Fuller are working on the new series and have brought on board Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Usual Suspects) as an executive producer and the director of the pilot episode. Casting is currently underway, but character descriptions and plot details have already been revealed:

**Spoiler Warning** “The pilot episode… will focus on 10-year-old Eddie Munster who is unaware that he’s a werewolf, and that his family is composed of terrifying creatures. The madness begins when a baby bear attacks a scouting trip, only it turns out that this “bear” is actually Eddie transformed into a werewolf. Eddie is unaware of his metamorphosis and it forces the family to move in order to protect the family secret. The coming of age story gets weirder as he fights against his family when he learns of a shocker: they’re a family of flesh-eaters!

A few other random character notes: Lily Munster has an eating disorder and eats suicide victims. Grandpa Munster is a 600-year-old shapeshifter, and Marilyn Munster was adopted when her mother tried to eat her as a baby.”
