by EG
Fans of the cult classic comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 have reason to rejoice this week. That's because the upcoming rebooted season of the series got both a definite premiere date and a brand new trailer. Now there's a countdown to new episodes and a long-awaited first look at the new cast.
The trailer introduces new cast member Jonah Ray, who will be filling the seat between Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo during the series' B-movie mockery, a spot formerly occupied by both Michael J. Nelson and series creator Joel Hodgson.
Also on hand in the trailer are Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt, who will portray the descendants of original bad guys Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank. As a bonus, we also get a glimpse of Mary Jo Pehl, who will reprise her role as Pearl Forrester, the grandmother of Day's character.
The revival season is expected to consist of 12 episodes and will debut on the streaming platform on April 14, 2017. There's no word on which bad movies the cast will be skewering, but the trailer shows clips from Reptilicus, a 1962 monster movie, and Starcrash, a 1978 sci-fi flick starring David Hasselhoff.
