When Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse recounted the existence of a Clone High movie between their many easter eggsWe accept it as a melancholic ode to what might have been if MTV had not eliminated the cult series in 2003. We were wrong.
While Clone High it’s not getting a movie, it’s it is getting new episodes with original creators Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Bill Lawrence working to “reimagine”. By a press release, Erica Rivinoja, formerly of The last man on earth, will serve as showrunner and feather The pilot episode with Lord and Miller.
It is unclear how many episodes MTV is ordering, or when it might air. But the “updated version” of the series will continue to count Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc and John F. Kennedy among his horny cloned student body historical figures.
It’s a great opportunity for MTV, with Lord and Miller have become major forces in Hollywood due to his work in the Lego movies and Into The Spider-Verse. But it is not entirely surprising either. In a 2017 interview with Weekly entertainmentLawrence the Scrubs creator who also worked on Clone HighHe said the program is the one “we most often think about revisiting.”
“What always amazes me is that I created a lot of television shows, “he said.. “There is much good Scrubs Internet fanatics, but I would say that it is surprising to me that side by side with them they are psychotically passionate people Clone High, even though it was only on for 13 episodes. It always drives me crazy. Phil and Chris think it’s great that he survives this way, but it bothers me that if he started now, with streaming and YouTube and everything in between, he would have such a short and noteworthy theater with great little clips that would live everywhere in the social media, I think it would be a monster for those guys. “
It is a good time to be the creator of a cult cartoon series. Just yesterday, Comedy Central announced that Mike Judge would be reinvent Beavis and Butthead for two new seasons and a host of spin-offs and specials.
