'Mythbusters' Team Reunites for Netflix Series

When Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman tried to revitalize their aging MythBusters series by getting rid of popular cast members Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara, the move didn't have the desired effect. Now Mythbusters has been cancelled, and neither Savage nor Hyneman has resurfaced in a successful mainstream TV project. Byron, Belleci, and Imahara aren't sitting around doing nothing, though. This winter, the team will reunite for a new series on Netflix that showcases the skills that Mythbusters fans grew to love.

The new series, called White Rabbit Project, will feature the trio doing experiments, building contraptions, and testing theories much as they did on Mythbusters. The format appears to be somewhat looser than that of the old show, however, with the team using their experiments to answer questions and explore topics instead of just trying to prove or disprove myths.

The series was announced last week at DragonCon, and it is set to debut on Netflix on December 9. The last episode of Mythbusters aired in March, but Byron, Belleci and Imahara had been off the series since the end of the 2014 season.
