The Kids in the Hall revival coming to Amazon
 

The Chicken Lady and Headcrusher are coming back! Amazon Prime Video is set to bring back new episodes of the critically-acclaimed cult sketch series from Canada The Kids In The Hall. This marks the first Canadian Amazon Original Series.

The original “Kids” Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson are all set to return for eight episodes and they will reprise fan-favorite characters from the series which originally ran from 1989 to 1995 on CBC in Canada and stateside on CBS, HBO, and Comedy Central. The series will be executive produced by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels.

“Even after 30 years, The Kids in the Hall has retained its brilliance and originality,” said Michaels. “We are happy to be bringing back all of the original ‘Kids’ for the new series.”

“We’ve been investing in Canada for several years and are excited to add to that momentum by making The Kids in the Hall the first Canadian Amazon Original series,” said James Farrell, Vice President of International Originals for Amazon Studios. “The Kids in the Hall is an iconic show with a deep-rooted fan base. Several of our global hits, including The Boys, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and The Expanse have been filmed in Canada and we are looking forward to continuing our work with talented producers and crew teams across the country to bring this series to our Prime members around the world.”

Michaels’ Broadway Video will produce alongside Canadian production company Project 10.

Awesome. I saw the Kids a few years ago live and they were hysterical.

^30 Helens.

And apparently, they're down to 17 Helens, now. :(

Also, Mark McKinney said the "It's a fact" girl is now a provincial court judge. :)

"I sentence you to 4 years in a federal penitentiary! It's a fact!"

A clever twitter user responded with "30 felons agree..." :lol:

Damn! Shadowy Men have never been playing when I've arrived at Pearson.

Reminds me... I've got to give the album a listen, again. It's really good!

Excellent. Some of my favorite stuff for the last thirty years, my kids enjoy selected clips, too. Sometimes, when one of us enters the house, we'll say, "Lopez! ...Lopez! ...Lopez?"

:lol: Nicely done.

My sister-in-law had her head crushed by Mark McKinney when we saw them live. He was scanning the audience with a flashlight, and he lit her up and said "You there! What colour are your eyes?" She was laughing so hard and mildly embarrassed, and all she could say was "I don't know," to which he responded "Stoned again! I'm crushing your head!!"

It's a fact!

I vaguely remember some sketches (like the crushing your head bit) but not a lot. I should look up the original.

Girl Drink Drunk is comedy perfection. Still cracks me up.

Here is the red band trailer that has some repeats from the green band but also a few new things:



I just became aware of the reboot this afternoon so I am now having a better day.

We've known for a couple of years that comedy terrors collectively known as The Kids In The Hall would be back with a new series thanks to Amazon, which has an eight-episode return planned for the team. Now we have a meta-tastic first trailer for the series.For the benefit of those who need the education, the troupe comprises Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson, who created and starred in the series, which ran from 1989 to 1995.

While the gang has reunited for comedy tours and 2010 mystery miniseries Death Comes To Town, they've not performed on screen as the Kids in the years since their show went off the air. So this new run, which promises some classic characters and new sketches, is certainly exciting.

And they've got a raft of guest stars for the new show, including Paul Bellini, Pete Davidson, Catherine O’Hara, Kenan Thompson, Brandon Ash-Mohammed, Will Forte, Catherine Reitman, Samantha Bee, Fred Armisen, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jay Baruchel, Eddie Izzard, Tracee Ellis Ross, Mark Hamill, and Colin Mochrie.

The show will land on 13 May on Prime Video.

I was never a hugely devoted fan when they were originally on but I did stop and watch The Kids in the Hall whenever I came across them in my teenage late night viewings. They had some fairly funny stuff and the group is a pretty likable bunch so I’ll check out the new show.

I really only remember the chicken lady and the fur trappers rowing through the office.

This show's theme song takes me back in time. Late night TV when folks were asleep switching on the CBC to watch kids whilst eating Hostess chips.

In my journalism days I got to interview Scott and Kevin, both fantastic convos with Scott busting into a little Buddy Cole at one point. Looking forward to this show, obviously.

That's a really Canadian sentence right there. :)
