POTD: ‘The Kids In The Hall’ Revival Gets The Gang Back Together As Production Begins
Way back in 2017, there were rumblings the sketch comedy groupThe Kids in the Hallwere developing a series revival that would hopefully land a streaming home. It took a few years, but Amazon finally ordered it last spring just before all hell broke loose with the coronavirus pandemic. Now that things are slowly getting back to normal,theKids in the Hallrevival is back in production, and the original cast got together for a photo to honor the occasion. But be warned, most of them have less hair or different colored hair than the last time you saw them.

They’re up in Toronto, Canada with production already underway on the eight-episode revival that will bring back some classic characters from the original series and introduce some new ones as well.
Back when the revival was ordered, James Farrell, Vice President of International Originals for Amazon Studios, said:
“We’ve been investing in Canada for several years and are excited to add to that momentum by makingThe Kids in the Hallthe first Canadian Amazon Original series,” said James Farrell, Vice President of International Originals for Amazon Studios. “The Kids in the Hallis an iconic show with a deep-rooted fan base. Several of our global hits, includingThe Boys, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,andThe Expansehave been filmed in Canada and we are looking forward to continuing our work with talented producers and crew teams across the country to bring this series to our Prime members around the world.”
Lorne Michaels, the executive producer ofSaturday Night Live, is behindThe Kids in the Hallrevival, and if all goes well, maybe we’ll get even more episodes of the series down the road.
What would be really great is if we could get some kind ofSCTVreunion to happen. Remember when Martin Scorsese was said to be involved with the Second City sketch series castgetting back together? Even Rick Moraniswas said to be involved. What happened to that? Maybe the success ofThe Kids in the Hallrevival could help get it out faster. We’ll keep our fingers crossed and hope for plenty more Canadian sketch comedy in our future.
