What happens

Tutenstein is an American animated television series, produced by PorchLight Entertainment for Discovery Kids based on the comics by Jay Stephens. The series was first premiered on Discovery Kids' Saturday morning block on NBC on November 1, 2003. It ended on October 11, 2008. The series features young mummy Tutankhensetamun (based on real-life Tutankhamun and usually called "Tutenstein" as in the title) who is awakened about 3,000 years after his accidental death and now must face the fact that his kingdom is gone. The name is a portmanteau of Tutankhamun and Frankenstein. Beginning in August 2020, Yippee TV, the current owners of the series, made the series officially available for streaming on YouTube. In October 2022, it was announced that a reboot is currently in the works. It will have a completely new look. There has been no further information since then. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
