MTV has been reviving a lot of it’s past recently with throwback content, Bevies & Butthead getting a reboot on a different channel, and today comes the news that an animated series from 2003 that developed a cult following is getting new life. ‘Clone High’, a wickedly funny show that saw famous names and historical figures cloned as horny emotional teenagers. AV Club confirmed Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and John F. Kennedy will be in the resurrected show.
Clone High’s creators Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence went on to success after the show’s single original season, working the ‘Lego’ films’ and the recent smash hit ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse’. They come into 2020 with a greater acceptance of out-there animated shows like ‘Rick & Morty’, so we got to expect some real fun with this reboot.
Nicktendo did an a retrospective video about ‘Clone High’ and how it left such an enduring mark on people who wanted see the common coming-of-age tale thrown into a blender with history. Oh, also if you are fan of ‘Scrubs’ watch this to see how it weaves in Easter eggs from CH.
