Mockingbird Lane Preview: Meet the New Munsters

Mockingbird Lane is coming to NBC.

This remake of The Munsters, which ran for three years on CBS in the mid-1960s, was originally filmed as a pilot for mid-season.

But NBC has scrapped those plans and will introduce viewers instead to Portia de Rossi's Lily, Eddie Izzard as Grandpa and the other members of this unusual family on October 26 as a one-night-only special.

Watch the first official trailer now:
