TheClone Highrevival has been canceled, according toVariety. The lovely characters that were given a chance to return to television two decades after their debut will become history once again, asMaxdecided to not move forward with more episodes of the beloved animated series. When the revival of the series was originally announced in 2021, two seasons were ordered by the studio. The contract has come to an end andClone High’s second run is gone with it.Phil Lord,Christopher MillerandBill Lawrencereturned to develop the new chapters of the concept they created twenty years ago.
The premise ofClone Highfollowed an experiment conducted by the United States government, where some of the greatest minds from across history were cloned and placed together in an environment meant to function as a regular high school. Important figures such as Abe Lincoln (Will Forte), Joan of Arc (Nicole Sullivan) and Cleopatra (Mitra Jouhari) were some of the participants of the experiment. While the entire concept sounds serious, the animated series was a comedy that took pleasure in portraying these iconic minds that shaped our world as unpredictable teenagers. Three seasons ofClone Highwere produced in total over the course of twenty-two years.
When it was announced thatClone Highwould be revived for Max, it was stated that new characters would be introduced to Clone High High School. Frida Kahlo (Vicci Martinez), Harriet Tubman (Ayo Edebiri) and Confucius (Kelvin Yu) were some of the new students who arrived to change the status quo of the school. As they tried to become friends with the previously introduced legends, Principal Cinnamon J. Scudworth (Phil Lord) continued to work with the government. Unfortunately for fans of the series,Clone Highcame to an end with an unresolved cliffhanger, just like it did when it was canceled the first time.
