The First Trailer for Netflix's MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 Revival Is Perfectly Cheesy
Hey, Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans! Netflix has released the first trailer for their revival series, and it's wonderfully cheesy in the most awesome ways. Seriously, you're gonna love it.
The new series puts Jonah Ray, Hampton Yount, and Baron Vaughn back in the theater as they take part in Kinga Forrester’s (Felicia Day) and Son of TV’s Frank’s (Patton Oswalt) evil experiments of watching hilariously bad B movies.
The trailer also hints at some of the movies that will be featured in the series. One of which includes is the 1961 film Reptilicus, which is a film that has been long requested by fans. I'm incredibly excited about this and will be enjoying some fun late nights watching it.
Anticipated Reboot of Fan Favorite Series Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be Available on Netflix in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and Ireland in the “Not-Too-Distant Future." Original creator Joel Hodgson will be joined by comedian Jonah Ray (“Jonah Heston”) as the new host and Felicia Day (Geek & Sundry) as “Kinga Forrester.”
A Kickstarter starter campaign, spearheaded by Hodgson and Shout! Factory, surpassed the goal of funding the production of 14 new episodes and set the world record as the highest-funded film and TV crowdfunding campaign in history.
Mystery Science Theater 3000’s national broadcast life began in 1989. Set on the Satellite of Love where a human host is trapped by mad scientists with his two robot sidekicks and forced to watch an endless run of B movies. The format proved to be popular, and during its eleven years and 198 episodes on the Comedy Channel and Sci-Fi Channel, it attained a loyal fan base and critical acclaim, including a Peabody Award and two Emmys® nominations.
The new 14 episode season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is coming to Netflix on April 14th!
