The Munsters Reboot Delayed

The Munsters TV series reboot, now officially titled Mockingbird Lane, has been delayed. According to reports, the reason for the delay is directly related to difficulties casting the lead roles.

This is still a priority project for NBC, however, and production on the pilot is expected in June. The new series was created by Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Usual Suspects) is involved as an executive producer and director of the pilot episode. We'll report back on any casting updates we hear, 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.”
