“Clone High,” the animated MTV cult classic about a high school devoted to teenage clones of historical figures from creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller (the “Spider-Verse” franchise) and Bill Lawrence (“Ted Lasso”), returns with new episodes on Max 20 years after the cancellation of its sole season. The core group has thawed to confront a more complicated world of social media and new cultural norms, where “Riverdale” has replaced “Dawson’s Creek” as the coming-of-age template, complete with slightly more adult humor and even sillier situations — and fewer executive notes since the creators now wield greater power.
Back are Abe Lincoln (Will Forte), Cleopatra (Mitra Jouhari replacing Christa Miller), JFK (Chris Miller), and Joan of Arc (Nicole Sullivan). They are joined by new clone classmates Harriet Tubman (Ayo Edebiri), Frida Kahlo (Vicci Martinez), Confucius (Kelvin Yu), Topher Bus (Neil Casey as a canceled Christopher Columbus), and Sacagawea (Jana Schmieding). However, party...

Long before Phil Lord and Christopher Miller became household names with "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and Bill Lawrence took the sitcom world by storm with "Ted Lasso," the trio was responsible for a controversial animated comedy that lasted just one season. "Clone High" was a wild idea; a high-concept animated MTV sitcom about a high school full of clones of famous people that also served as a parody of teen shows at the time, it ultimately went off the air after its depiction of a clone of Gandhi inspired a hunger strike in India, according to Grantland.
Despite its short shelf life and bumpy history, "Clone High" achieved a bit of a cult status after it ended, and now, it's set to return with a stellar new cast and a few fan favorites. A first look at the upgraded version of the series debuted at WonderCon, where stars Nicole Sullivan...

Class is back in session at Clone High. Twenty years after the animated MTV comedy went off the air, stars and producers of HBO Max’s revival gave fans a first look at the new episodes at WonderCon on Friday, March 24. As cast members Will Forte and Nicole Sullivan joined executive producers Chris Miller, Erica Rivinoja, and Erik Durbin for a Q&a panel at the convention, they revealed who’s on board for the HBO Max revival, which is scheduled to drop this spring. Courtesy of HBO Max The original series — created by Miller alongside Phil Lord and Bill Lawrence — centered on a high school for clones of historical figures. But MTV canceled the show in 2003, leaving the characters frozen in a meat locker at their winter prom. Luckily for fans, MTV Entertainment Studios announced a revival in 2020, and HBO Max gave the show a two-season order the following year.

There will be no Season 5 for Fox’s The Last Man on Earth, starring Will Forte, which is being canceled after four seasons. The show is one of three comedy series canceled by Fox today, along with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Mick.
The Last Man on Earth quickly established a cult following but was never able to grow beyond niche appeal. Still, boosted by DVR viewing, the quirky comedy averaged a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating in Live+7, on par with The Mick and freshman La to Vegas, which had been looking promising for renewal. The high-concept comedy already cheated cancellation once, clinching a last-minute renewal last year.
From writer-producer Will Forte and directors/producers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, The Last Man on Earth was a straight-to-series order. It chronicled the life and adventures of an average guy who inadvertently becomes humanity’s last hope. After a deadly virus swept the...

The Writers Guild of America has just announced the nominations for their annual awards for Best Screenplays (by writers who are guild signatories). That’s right, before you get nervous thinking that your favorite may have been left off the list, you must remember that the WGA is the group that is not all-inclusive and leaves out several of the top contenders each year due to them not being part of the guild or not following their very specific rules. For this reason, you won’t see Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Ex Machina in the Original Screenplay category or Room, Brooklyn, or Anomalisa in the Adapted screenplay category.
Taking a look at what’s left over for the nominations, we find many that were expected to make a showing, including Spotlight and Bridge of Spies for Original Screenplay, though they apparently had to sink to really low depths...
