In the not-to-distant future, 2015 B.C., Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans are in for a treat: original MST 3K host Joel Hodgson and co-star Trace Beaulieu will be back on the small screen. Production has begun on Other Space, the new half-hour comedy from Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Freaks and Geeks) about a group of space explorers—including bickering siblings, burned-out veterans and, of course, robots—in the 22nd century. “I’m thrilled to be cast with my old buddy Trace Beaulieu in the new comedy sci fi series Other Space,” Hodgson tells Yahoo TV. “I also think fans of MST3K will be very interested in this new work that mastermind Paul Feig and his cast and crew have cooked up for Yahoo.”
In an exclusive video message from the set of Other Space (below), Beaulieu tells Yahoo TV about his Other Space character, a robot named Art. The cast also includes Karan Soni (Safety Not Guaranteed), Eugene Cordero(House of Lies), Milana Vayntrub (Silicon Valley), Neil Casey (Broad City, The League), and Bess Rous (Murder in the First).

Hope this doesn’t interfere with whatever reboot plans Joel has.
Speaking of, per his Q&A session at RetroCon, Joel said to expect to hear more of the reboot and it’s Kickstarter this November, possibly in tandem with the marathon.
2015 BC?
Oh man I just noticed the part about how Trace is playing a robot named Art.
Delightful.
The part of Santy Claus will now be played by Trace Beaulieu.
Paul Feig is all over the place these days. Good for him. You may remember him from Joel’s TV Wheel. We also have him to thank for Melissa McCarthy’s present ubiquity, for better or worse. *ahem*
Before Crow?
I’ve got the keys to the kingdom, my, me, my, I’m the god, I’M THE GOD!
So the robot being named “Art” simply cannot be a coincidence right??
Sounds like a fun show!
Just saying “ditto” to the Art thing. Coincidence or no it’s fantastic.
Does the fan whose letter misnamed Crow “Art” have any idea what he/she has wrought? Does anyone know about him/her?
ART!
Finally – Darkstar, the TV Show!
Pretty neat.
ARRRRRRTTTT!
So basically Homeboys from Outerspace* with white people?
*Yes, that was a real show on WB
