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 only ran for 13 episodes on MTV in the U.S. and on Teletoon in Canada, but it built up a cult following for its tremendous sense of humor and unique premise.

Like the original, “Clone High” will follow prominent historical figures who have been cloned and placed back in high school, including Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, John F. Kennedy, and more, as they face the trials and tribulations of normal teenage life. Lord and Miller will “reimagine” Clone High with co-creator Bill Lawrence for MTV Studios, although it’s unclear exactly where this might air. Since MTV Studios is owned by Viacom CBS, it could be part of the re-imagined version of the streaming service CBS All Access that’s in the works.

Erica Rivinoja, who was a writer on the original series, will serve as showrunner and will co-write the pilot with Lord and Miller.
