Mystery Science Theater 3000” is returning for a 13th season, this time on a new indie streaming platform, Gizmoplex. Created by Joel Hodgson in 1988, the cult show “MST3K” follows a series of ordinary humans captured by mad scientists who subject them to a series of terrible B-movies. To keep their sanity, the humans create a series of companion robots to riff on the films they watch, which are presented on the show in their entirety.
“MST3K” has gone through several iterations, initially airing on KTMA-TV Minneapolis, then on Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi channel, for a total of 10 seasons. It was revived for a two season run on Netflix in 2017. The show has been highly acclaimed since its creation, winning a Peabody in 1993, and has helped turn seberal obscure movies into cult classics, such as “Manos: The Hands of Fate.” The new revival of “MST3K” will air completely independently, following two successful Kickstarter campaigns, on the Gizmoplex app.
The platform will be available through a website and apps, and contain new episodes and shorts of the show, and will host livestreams and special events throughout the season. Returning for Season 13 are Felicia Day, Patton Oswalt and Mary Jo Pehl as the mad scientists, who for the first time will trap three human subjects at once: the returning Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray), original host Joel Robinson (Hodgson) and newcomer Emily Connor (Emily Marsh). Hampton Yount, Kelsey Ann Brady, Baron Vaughn, Conor McGiffin, Rebecca Hanson and Yvonne Freese will return as the robot companions on the ship.
The new season will premiere on May 6, with three episodes released over the weekend from Friday to Sunday. After that, new episodes and shorts will release every two weeks. The
