'Clone High' Revival Welcomes A New Class Of Guest Stars For Season 2

On a very special continuation of Clone High…

Class will be back in session next month for the students of Clone High as Max sets a February release (exact date TBA) for the long-awaited revival’s second season, the third overall. They have also revealed the season’s guest cast.

Among the big names coming aboard are Randall Park as Frida’s Adopted Dad who apparently hasn’t been given a name, Jermaine Fowler as Toussaint Louverture, Paul F. Tompkins as Professor Hirsute, Stephen Root as Schneider Snorkelle, Jackee Harry as the basis of a twist on Jack the Ripper, Jackee the Ripper, Hannah Simone as Lady Godiva, The Good Place alums D’Arcy Carden as Mary and Jameela Jamil as Mrs. C, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Sandra Sandria and Richard Kind as Nostradamus.

Deadline reported the exclusive, which comes off a Late Night with Seth Meyers appearance by two of the series’s co-creators, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller where that would’ve been a nice place to reveal it. They were there promoting next week’s IMAX re-release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Both men are of course also in the main cast, Lord as Scudworth, Miller as JFK and Mr. B, alongside Mitra Jouhari as Cleo, Will Forte as Abe; Nicole Sullivan as Joan; Christa Miller as Candide Sampson; with newcomers Vicci Martinez as Frida Kahlo, Ayo Edebiri as Harriet Tubman, Kelvin Yu as Confucius, and Neil Casey as Topher Bus. Donald Faison as George Washington Carver and Judah Miller as Scangrade also return.

The first revival season saw Abe, JFK, Cleo and Joan thawed out 20 years later to resume the experiment with new clone classmates, traversing the new cultural norms brought on by societal progress, and overly dramatic teen relationships. The series, also created by Scrubs, Cougar Town, and Ted Lasso creator Bill Lawrence, originally ran for a single season on MTV in 2003 (with an earlier start and fuller run in Canada), about halfway into Scrubs season 2. It seemed Into the Spider-Verse and Ted Lasso pushed their names over the threshold to be big enough names to have the leverage and power to revive the cult hit. In fact, its revival was announced to be in development when Beavis and Butt-Head’s was picked up in July 2020. It would be what was then HBO Max in February 2021 who gave the revival a two-season order, which wouldn’t premiere until it was utilized as a Max relaunch title last May, running for five weeks with two episodes released weekly until June 22.
