Fans of the cult hit toon Clone High will be introduced to new/old faces and once more walk the halls of that hallowed institution of shadowy schemes when the rebooted series premieres Tuesday, May 23 on Max. The official trailer for the Max Original series dropped today, promising hormonal drama, confusing feelings, way too much tonguing and surprising plot twists for everyone’s favorite robot-butler-vice principal!
Following the premiere, Max will roll out two new episodes of Clone High each Thursday from June 1 through June 22.
