Clone High (occasionally referred to in the United States as Clone High USA) is an adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Bill Lawrence. The show centers on a high school populated by the clones of well-known historical figures. The central cast includes adolescent depictions of Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, Cleopatra, and JFK. The series also serves as a parody of teen dramas such as Dawson's Creek and Beverly Hills, 90210; every episode is introduced as a "very special episode".Lord and Miller first developed the series' concept while at Dartmouth College in the 1990s, later pitching it to executives at U.S. network Fox Broadcasting Company, who ultimately decided to pass on the program. It was later purchased by cable channel MTV, and was produced between 2002 and 2003. The show's design is heavily stylized and its animation style limited, emphasizing humor and story over visuals. The Clone High theme song was written by Tommy Walter and performed by his alternative rock band Abandoned Pools, who also provided much of the series' background music.
Clone High first aired in its entirety on Canadian cable network Teletoon between 2002 and 2003, later debuting on MTV. It became embroiled in a controversy regarding its depiction of Gandhi soon afterward, which prompted over one hundred people in India to mount a hunger strike in response. Shortly after, MTV pulled the series, which had been receiving low ratings. The series aired on MTV Classic in 2016. Clone High attracted mixed reviews from television critics upon its premiere, but it has since received critical acclaim and a cult following. On July 2, 2020, it was announced that a revival of the series is in the works at MTV Entertainment Studios with the original creators Lord, Miller, and Lawrence returning. On February 10, 2021, it was announced that HBO Max had ordered two seasons of the revival is set to premiere in 2023.As of 2020, the series is available to be streamed on Paramount+ in America. It can also be streamed in the United States on MTV.com and the MTV app.
