Overview
- Fox greenlit the half-hour series on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, marking its first live-action comedy order in more than two years and scheduling the show for the 2027–28 season.
- Christopher Lloyd and Danny Zuker will write, co-showrun and executive produce the U.S. Mammoth adaptation alongside BBC Studios Los Angeles executives Mark Linsey and Angie Stephenson and original creator Mike Bubbins.
- The comedy follows Coach Tony Mammoth, a high school gym teacher frozen in 1983 who thaws forty years later and struggles to adjust to a modern world he thinks did not need to change.
- Fox Entertainment Studios will produce the series and Fox Entertainment Global will handle worldwide distribution, which gives Fox full ownership of the U.S. version.
- The pickup fits Fox’s recent focus on in-house, owned content and transatlantic format deals and arrives as the original BBC Two Mammoth continues toward a third U.K. season.
