Mammoth<\/a>,\u201d which is based on Mike Bubbins\u2019 British sitcom of the same name.<\/p>\n\n\tPer the description, \u201c\u2018Mammoth\u2019\u00a0follows Coach Tony Mammoth, a larger-than-life high school gym teacher whose life is put on ice in 1983, when he\u2019s buried in a freak ski avalanche. Forty years later, he thaws out to a world that has completely changed \u2026 but he\u2019s convinced it really didn\u2019t need to. Still clinging to life in the \u201880s \u2013 complete with his Burt Reynolds moustache and treasured Trans-AM \u2013- Mammoth returns to the job he loves, only to discover that today\u2019s rules, relationships, and realities bear little resemblance to the world he once knew.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tThe show is slated to debut on Fox during the 2027-2028 season. It marks the network\u2019s first live-action comedy series greenlight in more than two years.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMammoth\u201d is produced by Fox Entertainment Studios, with Lloyd and Zuker serving as writers, showrunners and executive producers. Mark Linsey and Angie Stephenson of BBC Studios Los Angeles, as well as Bubbins, are also EPs.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cTony Mammoth genuinely believes he mastered manhood the first time around, making his new reality the ultimate wakeup call and greatest challenge in an otherwise flawless life,\u201d\u00a0said Christopher Lloyd. \u201cHe\u2019s charming, wildly self-assured, hopelessly out of step and, despite his many blind spots, impossible not to root for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tDanny Zuker added, \u201cTony gets the second chance so many people wish for, only to find that his bravado doesn\u2019t quite match his new reality. We love his shameless confidence, his fascination with a world he barely recognizes, and the big heart underneath it all. He\u2019s a lot. We can\u2019t wait to bring him to Fox.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new live-action comedy series is heading to Fox.
