Netflix celebrates Turkey Day by renewing Mystery Science Theater 3000
For MSTies, Thanksgiving is about Mitchell and Manos: The Hands Of Fate as much as it is about turkey and cranberry sauce. Yes, the traditional Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day marathon just wrapped up its 11th edition on Shout Factory TV, and with it comes an exciting bit of news: MST3K: The Return has been renewed for a second season on Netflix! (That’s the 12th season overall, for those of you who are keeping count—which is presumably everyone reading MST3K news late at night on Thanksgiving.)
That’s about all we know for now, as Netflix says the new season will be available exclusively on Netflix in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand sometime in the “not-too-distant future.” But the renewal was announced in a fun YouTube video featuring series creator Joel Hodgson, current host Jonah Ray, and Felicia Day, who tortures Jonah and the ‘bots with bad movies as new Mad Kinga Forrester:
And a very happy Turkey Day to one and all.
