Portia de Rossi, herself no stranger to weird families as one of the Bluths of Arrested Development, is now entering another weird family, taking on the iconic role of vampire Lily Munster in NBC’s Munsters reboot, Mockingbird Lane.
She joins Jerry O’Connell as Herman Munster, Eddie Izzard as Grandpa Munster, Mason Cook as Eddie Munster, and Charity Wakefield as Marilyn Munster in the reboot, which comes from the mind of Pushing Daisies’ Bryan Fuller. The pilot will be directed by Bryan Singer (Superman Returns) and is expected to shoot this summer. If successful, it could air as early as midseason on NBC.
This news was first revealed on several websites but it was THR that first brought it to our attention.
