Canceled TV Shows Netflix Revived

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return (Season 11)

By season eight, the entire cast had been replaced. The production company Best Brains, Inc. felt limited under the Sci-Fi channel with the variety of films they could use. Conflicts between the two parties ultimately resulted in the show’s cancellation. Joel Hodgson spent years trying to bring back MST3K. After securing rights to the series, he launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2015. He set a goal of $2 million for three episodes and secured funding in a week.

Hodgson cast entirely new actors for the new season but kept the same style of the original series. Fourteen new episodes were released on Netflix in April 2017.
