The good times are back as the classic animated comedy series is getting a fresh look on HBO. Clone High was first released in 2002 and instantly found popularity with its unique concept and hilarious parodical story. The show is created by Bill Lawrence, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, while Matt Marshall and Erica Rivinoja are also credited as writers, for the revived version.
Set in a fictional town, the story followed a military experiment where famous historical figures were cloned & put in a high school together. Through satire and science fiction, the creators showcased a typical high school story with romance, love triangles and imparting life lessons in a rather unique manner.

Clone High Plot/Synopsis
The show follows a high school for clones of the greatest minds in history. Twenty years after the original experiment was put on ice, Joan, JFK, Abe, and Cleo have been thawed out to resume school with their new clone classmates. They all will have to navigate a new set of cultural norms and overly dramatic teen relationships.
Even after getting revived twenty years in the future, Abe seems to be trying his luck on Joan while she chooses JFK over him. One would expect them to go ballistic on realising that they have woken up in future, which is like a whole new world. Some characters find it quite awesome with new technologies & others get updated on the new slang that even the current generation doesn’t understand sometimes.
The new start will definitely be full of chaos, accidents and destruction but at the end of the day, the characters will come together to form a family relying on each other to make sense of the crazy modern world.
