As was previously reported, hit movie-riffing series Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be returning for all-new episodes. Though the first two season of the revival of the franchise were produced by and distributed on Netflix, season 13 of the show will be available exclusively on their Gizmoplex platform, an all-new digital theater experience for MST3K fans. Today being Turkey Day, a pivotal place in the fandom (and a Happy one to those that celebrate), the feature films that will be riffed on in season 13 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 were confirmed by the series today, the full list for which you can find below!
“It’ll have a different feeling than just for example, a Netflix with just moreย MST3Kย on it, because we’ll be doing specific events during the premiere,” series creator Joel Hodgson previously told ComicBook.com about the new platform. “It should feel different, because it’s just not a bunch of tiles where you click on them and you watch moreย MST; it should feel different than that.” The Gizmoplex and new season of the series will also do some experimenting as more than one host will take part in the show, including theย first woman host in a MST3K TV showย (albeit one who is already familiar to the fans, having traveled with the roadshow). Hodgson also confirmed that he will return as his character to host at least one episode as well.
