Get Your First Look at the New ‘Clone High’

Between the trio of Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence, there is a veritable comedy empire that spans movie, TV, live action and animation. Since 2002, their paths have led them to critical and commercial darlings including The LEGO Movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Afterparty, Scrubs, and Ted Lasso.

Also, in 2002, they all created a cult animated favorite, Clone High, the first in many milestones of their quick-fire, smart off-beat humor. Over 20 years after it first premiered, Lord, Miller, and Lawrence are reviving the series of HBO Max and though reboots/revivals/refreshes/etc. are getting tiring as a commodity, this particular new edition of Clone High looks pretty damn fun (especially with almost all the core elements/characters intact).

After all, if Lord and Miller could make a beloved movie franchise out of LEGO, they certainly can redo their own series with Bill Lawrence.

See for yourself in this first teaser for the new Clone High here, coming to HBO Max soon.

With the addition of Emily Heller to the cast, TBS’ Ground Floor will know have two absolutely hilarious comedians on the show as regulars. Heller joins Rory Scovel for Ground Floor’s second season as a socially awkward business wunderkind. Joining the cast also marks a move up for Emily who used to write for another Bill Lawrence show, Surviving Jack.

We’re glad to see that Ground Floor EP Bill Lawrence has pretty great taste when it comes to stand-ups.
