MTV Studios announced Thursday that it has ordered a reboot of the short-lived animated series, with original series creators Bill Lawrence, Phil Lord and Chris Miller attached to "reimagine" the early-aughts satire. Fellow Clone High vet Erica Rivinoja will serve as showrunner and co-write the pilot alongside Lord and Miller.

Like the original, the new Clone High will follow historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc and John F. Kennedy who have been cloned and placed back in high school. A network is not yet attached.

"We're thrilled to reunite with Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Bill Lawrence to re-imagine this cult classic as we rapidly grow our portfolio of beloved and iconic adult animation series," Chris McCarthy, President of ViacomCBS Entertainment and Youth Group, said in a statement.

A favorite of mine from the turn of the century.

Didn't season 1 end on a cliff hanger? Also, do you think some of the characterizations would be seen as problematic in this day and age?

Pretty sure it was problematic when the show originally aired. I think the portrayal of Ghandi was a big reason the show was ultimately cancelled.

Yes, Abe Lincoln caught JFK and Joan of Arc in bed. Then everyone was frozen.

That might be the craziest sentence I have ever written.
