It’s been two decades since audiences entered the hallways and classrooms of MTV’s adult animated series, Clone High. While it may have received an untimely cancellation after just one season, the series found a cult following that made their requests loud and clear, demanding for a reboot to get underway. Well, it’s been almost a full two years since news broke that HBO Max ordered … Continue reading ‘Clone High’ Reboot to Hit HBO Max in 2023!!
MTV is here to bridge the gap between Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z with a Daria-based spinoff film titled, Jodie. The animated feature will focus on the character from Daria as she graduates from college and takes her first steps into the terrifying job market. Not only does the plot sound super relatable, but the vocal cast only better adds to the spinoff’s promise. … Continue reading ‘Jodie’: ‘Daria’ Spinoff Film led By Tracee Ellis Ross in the Works!!
Clone High was one of the animated gems of the MTV era that sadly never got the attention of Beavis and Butthead or Daria. The brainchild of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who would go on to massive success with films like 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie, as well as Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, was set at a high school where all the … Continue reading ‘Clone High’: HBO Max Reboot Gets a Two-Season Order!!
Great news, everyone! The beloved yet short-lived animated comedy series Clone High is getting re-imagined for MTV, and the original creators are onboard. You may or may not know that Phil Lord and Chris Miller — the wildly successful (and Oscar-winning) filmmakers behind movies like The LEGO Movie and 21 Jump Street – got their start co-creating Clone High in the early 2000s. The show … Continue reading A ‘Clone High’ Reboot is Coming from Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence!!
When you fire up the streaming service CBS All Access later this year, it might look very different—it might even have a different name. ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish confirmed on an earnings call on Thursday that the streaming service will undergo a rebranding as it expands to include more of the parent company’s cable brands and library programming, with a relaunch planned for later this … Continue reading CBS All Access Set to Undergo a Rebranding!!
If you work in this industry long enough, you’ll see how cyclical it can be. Case in point, today’s announcement that CBS and Viacom have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger, creating a combined company with more than $28 billion in revenue. The new entity, known as ViacomCBS Inc., will be led by Bob Bakish as President and CEO, with … Continue reading CBS and Viacom to Merge Once Again!!!
90s nostalgia and reboots are all the rage, but it won’t help restore relevancy. You can try, though, MTV. The Viacom channel is launching a studio to focus specifically on reviving its 90s-born IP, from Daria to The Real World to Aeon Flux (which will get a live-action reboot, unlike — mercifully — Daria). According to a press release, MTV Studios will also be developing “The … Continue reading New Studio Launched by MTV to Reboot ‘Daria,’ ‘The Real World,’ ‘Aeon Flux’!!!
Back in the 1990s, MTV launched an experimental block of animation programming called Liquid Television. Part of that was Aeon Flux (styled Æon Flux), a rare — at that time — animated series aimed at adults that included graphic depictions of violence, as well as sex, fetishism and domination. Can you imagine being a kid and stumbling onto this? Created by Peter Chung (who also worked … Continue reading ‘Aeon Flux’ Is Receiving a Live-Action Series Reboot at MTV!!!
When The Shannara Chronicles first debuted on MTV in 2016, it was the network’s highest-rated scripted series of the year. MTV has since gotten out of the scripted game, so its parent company Viacom moved the series to Spike TV, which will soon become the Paramount Network. That was clearly a mistake. The ratings dropped off dramatically, to the point that the second season never … Continue reading ‘The Shannara Chronicles’ Cancelled on Spike!!
MTV has cast someone very familiar to its (current) core audience in a key Scream role: Rapper Tyga will join the horror series for its revamped third season, per The Hollywood Reporter. Tyga will play Jamal, the loyal yet rough around the edges stepbrother of new character Deion. As previously reported, Deion is a Michael B. Jordan-esque football player who’s heading for a college scholarship when a … Continue reading Scream Casts Tyga, Notorious B.I.G.’s Son C.J. Wallace in Rebooted Season 3!!
MTV’s The Shannara Chronicles wrapped a highly entertaining and gorgeously produced first season well over a year ago, so fans are eagerly awaiting the show’s return for Season 2 this fall. However, they’ll have to adjust their DVR settings. The Shannara Chronicles is shifting from MTV to Spike before the channel’s re-branding as The Paramount Network. The move comes during restructuring by Viacom, the parent company for both … Continue reading ‘The Shannara Chronicles’ Season 2 Moves from MTV to Spike!!!
Some intriguing news today regarding MTV’s TV adaptation of Scream — it’s becoming an accidental anthology. The series had already been renewed for a third season, but with a reduced episode order (down to 6 rather than the previous 10 and 13). And now, it seems, it’s going to get a creative reboot as well. What that means, to put a point on it, is that … Continue reading ‘Scream’ Season 3 Set for Creative Reboot with New Cast, Showrunner!!!
MTV may be giving their Scream TV series the reboot treatment. Based on Wes Craven‘s game-changing 1996 slasher of the same name, Scream was a major IP with nostalgia value to boot, which is probably why the show debuted big. But viewership dropped by half in the second season, probably after fans realized the show doesn’t share all that much DNA with its namesake, and now … Continue reading ‘Scream’ Season 3 Will Reboot the MTV Series!!!
It’s looking increasingly unlikely that the trend of not only remaking movies on the big screen but also the small screen will slow down anytime soon. This year saw great movies (The Exorcist) and good movies (Lethal Weapon) alike get malformed and reconfigured into newfangled entertainments focused either on the grimness of life without God or the importance of family and fraternity over literally everything … Continue reading ‘War of the Worlds’ TV Series in Development from ‘Teen Wolf’ Team!!
