Fox Orders Mammoth, Comedy from Modern Family Producers; Peacock's Fan Level Midnight: Devoted to The Office Docuseries

Fox has greenlit Mammoth, a new comedy series from Modern Family's twelve-time Emmy Award-winning co-creator/executive producer Christopher Lloyd and five-time Emmy-winning executive producer/writer Danny Zuker. Produced by Fox Entertainment Studios with BBC Studios Los Angeles executive producing, the series is distributed worldwide by Fox Entertainment Global.

Mammoth follows Coach Tony Mammoth, a larger-than-life high school gym teacher whose life is put on ice in 1983, when he's buried in a freak ski avalanche. Forty years later, he thaws out to a world that has completely changed...but he's convinced it really didn't need to. Still clinging to life in the '80s - complete with his Burt Reynolds moustache and treasured Trans-AM -- Mammoth returns to the job he loves, only to discover that today's rules, relationships, and realities bear little resemblance to the world he once knew.

Based on the original BBC Studios U.K. production of the same name and created by Welsh comedian and writer Mike Bubbins, Mammoth is produced by Fox Entertainment Studios. Lloyd and Zuker serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers, alongside executive producers Mark Linsey and Angie Stephenson of BBC Studios Los Angeles, and Bubbins. Mammoth is slated to debut on Fox during the 2027-28 season.
