MST3K and the Satellite of Love Coming to Netflix… Soon!

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

In December I told you that the Satellite of Love and Mystery Science Theater would be returning, thanks to a very successful Kickstarter campaign. At that point they didn’t exactly know where or when, but they did know it would be for six gloriously bad episodes.

robots-mst3kNow, we have more news….

At the SDCC2016 panel, series creator Joel Hodgson revealed that the show has finally found a home and will be airing on Netflix. They also have two new writers, Joel McHale and Dan Harmon who will be working with head writer Elliot Kalan.

We will also get a few of the original stars such as Bill Corbett (Brain Guy) and Mary Jo Pehl (Pearl Forrester,) who will briefly revive their roles, but will mostly be on board as part of the writing crew.

It doesn’t look like casting has changed since the original announcement. Kevin Murphy will appear as Professor Bobo, Hampton Yount and Baron Vaughn will take over roles as Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, and Felicia Day will co-star as a newest member of the Forrester family, Kinga Forrester with Jonah Ray as the newest experiment trapped on the Satellite of Love and forced to watch bad movies.
Here is the Netflix Press release:

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”

– The new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be available exclusively on Netflix in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

– 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.” Joel McHale and Dan Harmon have attached as writers. Additionally, Mary Jo Pehl (“Pearl Forrester”), Bill Corbett (“Crow T. Robot”) and Kevin Murphy (“Tom Servo”) from the original cast will reprise their roles in the new series.

– Elliott Kalan, Emmy-winning former head writer of The Daily Show, will serve as the new head writer on the revival.

– 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 season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is executive produced by Joel Hodgson, Richard Foos, Bob Emmer, Garson Foos, Jonathan Stern, Harold Buchholz and Elliott Kalan, along with Satellite of Love, LLC, Alternaversal Productions and Abominable Pictures.

Here Is Your First Look From “The X-Files” Filming As Well As The Script

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

XFiles Top

The X-Files revival is currently filming in Vancouver, B.C.  During the time off since the original series ended, it looks like our main duo who investigate supernatural phenomena have become different people.  Mulder looks like a hot mess in drab attire and scruffy beard.  Both actors spoke to EW on the places their characters are now:

“Mulder’s not in a great place.  He’s wearing bad jeans, so you can just extrapolate from my wardrobe. He’s in a dark, dark place.” – David Duchovny

“I like where we find Mulder and Scully in their relationship.” – Gillian Anderson

Duchovny, Anderson, and show creator Chris Carter

Duchovny, Anderson, and show creator Chris Carter

Creator Chris Carter had this to say, “The X-Files ended right after 9/11.  A lot has happened since then. A lot of rollback of rights and liberties in the name of our protection. We’re being spied on now, we’re being lied to — all things that, for me, remind me of when I grew up, which was right around Watergate. I think we’re in similar and much more dire times right now.” 

Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we now have our first look at David Duchovny (Fox Mulder), Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully), Annet Mahendru, Joel McHale, and a peek at the cover of the script for episode one.
