Fans will have to learn to say good-bye to the famous historical characters reborn in Clone High a second time. Max has canceled the animated series from Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Bill Lawrence after bringing back the show for two seasons in May of 2023.
In a statement, Max told Deadline.com, “Although Max will not proceed with a third season of Clone High, we will always cherish our creative partnership with Chris Miller, Phil Lord, Bill Lawrence, Erica Rivinoja, Erik Durbin, Judah Miller, Corey Campodonico, Alex Bulkley, and the team at MTV Entertainment Studios. The incredibly talented voice actors, writers, cast and crew provided the opportunity to thaw out these legendary characters.”
Clone High, which originally premiered on MTV in November 2002, centered on an eclectic group of famous historical figures such as John. F. Kennedy (voiced by Chris Miller), Abe Lincoln (Will Forte), Cleopatra (Christa Miller in the first season, Mitra Jouhari in the new season) and Joan of Arc (Nicole Sullivan). The satiric series, which was canceled after audiences objected to the portrayal of beloved Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi (voiced by Michael McDonald), returned with some new additions to the cast. Among them: Harriet Tubman (Ayo Edebiri), Frida Kahlo (Vicci Martinez), Confucius (Kelvin Yu) and Topher Bus (Neil Casey).
Clone High was executive produced by Lord, Miller, Lawrence, Erica Rivinoja, and Erik Durbin. Judah Miller, ShadowMachine’s Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley, and Jeff Ingold were also executive producers on the series.
