MST3K Netflix Release Date Announced

Robot roll call!

For the first time in approximately forever, new Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes are coming. That's right, in the not too distant future, MST3K season 11 will hit Netflix. April 14th, to be exact.

The news was announced as the premiere episode (which is being kept super secret except to certain kickstarter backers) screened at Los Angeles' Arclight Theater. Netflix kept this one so quiet that they didn't even tell Joel Hodgson himself until right before the event started.

We don't know what the experiment/movie is, but we do know that the cast looks pretty solid, as it includes Jonah Ray, Felicia Day, and Patton Oswalt, as well as a writer's room with names like Joel McHale and Dan Harmon involved. Oh, and expect a guest appearance from Mark Hamill, too.

14 brand new MST3K episodes are coming. Those are words I seriously never expected to get to write.
