Class is back in session at Clone High, as HBO Max just released new information about the reboot.
Ahead of its Spring time debut, Clone High revealed new images and casting information during the show’s panel at WonderCon.
The original series aired on MTV 2002 for one season and is best known as the launching pad for filmmaking megastars Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Clone High is centered on a high school populated by the clones of well-known historical figures and features an all-star line-up of voice actors.
Returning voice actors for the revival include Will Forte reprising his role as Abe; Nicole Sullivan as Joan; Lord as Scudworth; Chris Miller as JFK and Mr. B; Christa Miller voicing a new character, Candide Sampson; Donald Faison back as George Washington Carver; and Judah Miller as Scangrade.
Gandhi, who Michael McDonald voiced, will not be included reboot, while Cleo, who Christa Miller initially voiced, will now be voiced by Iranian-American actor Mitra Jouhari.
The new voice cast joining 2023’s Clone High include Ayo Edebiri as Harriet; Vicci Martinez as Frida; Kelvin Yu as Confucius; Neil Casey as Topher Bus; Jana Schmieding as Sacagawea; Sam Richardson as Wesley; Mo Gaffney as Ms. Grumbles; Al Madrigal as Frederico; Danny Pudi as Dr. Neelankavil; Emily Maya Mills as Ethel Merman; Michael Bolton as Michael Bolton, Mandy Moore as Mandy Moore, Ian Ziering as Ian Ziering; Steve Kerr as Steve Kerr; and Jeffrey Muller, Kyle Lau, Dannah Phirman, and Danielle Schneider.
Per Deadline, “this modern refresh of the 2002 animated series is set at a high school for clones of historical figures. After a high school that was secretly being run as an elaborate military experiment to clone the greatest minds in history was put on ice, the clones have been thawed out 20 years later to resume the experiment with new clone classmates – all while navigating a new set of cultural norms and overly dramatic teen relationships.”
