Trailer For “Modern Refresh” of Clone High Gives Us Glimpse of Clone Kids, Old and New

Before Phil Lord and Christopher Miller worked on projects like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Cocaine Bear, the duo—along with Bill Lawrence (who went on to create little shows like Ted Lasso, Scrubs, and Shrinking) had an adult animated series called Clone High. The show, which aired on Canadian television and came out in 2002, followed a group of high school kids who just happened to be clones of famous historical figures like Joan of Arc and Cleopatra.

Lawrence, Lord, and Miller have recently revived the series, however, which will be coming to HBO Max sometime in the near future. And based on the trailer they released today, it seems like the show will be returning to its adult animated, clone-inspired shenanigans.

One for My Enemy

Here’s the HBO Max show’s official synopsis:

This modern refresh of the Phil Lord (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Afterparty, and 21 Jump Street), Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Cougar Town, Scrubs) hit series Clone High is set at a high school for clones of historical figures. After a high school that was secretly being run as an elaborate military experiment to clone the greatest minds in history was put on ice, the clones have been thawed out 20 years later to resume the experiment with new clone classmates – all while navigating a new set of cultural norms and overly dramatic teen relationships.

Returning stars include Will Forte as Abe Lincoln and Nicole Sullivan as Joan of Arc; executive producers Phil Lord as Scudworth and Chris Miller as JFK and Mr. B; Christa Miller as Candide Sampson (a change, since she voiced Cleopatra in the original series); Donald Faison as George Washington Carver; and Judah Miller as Scangrade. New voice actors joining are Ayo Edebiri as Harriet; Mitra Jouhari as Cleo; Vicci Martinez as Frida; Kelvin Yu as Confucius; Neil Casey as Topher Bus; Jana Schmieding as Sacagawea; Sam Richardson as Wesley; Mo Gaffney as Ms. Grumbles; Al Madrigal as Frederico; Danny Pudi as Dr. Neelankavil; Emily Maya Mills as Ethel Merman; Michael Bolton as Michael Bolton, Mandy Moore as Mandy Moore, Ian Ziering as Ian Ziering; Steve Kerr as Steve Kerr; and Jeffrey Muller, Kyle Lau, Dannah Phirman, and Danielle Schneider.

That’s quite the class! Clone High premieres on HBO Max sometime in Spring 2023 (so soon, I guess?).
