Something colossal is happening in the not-too-distant future — Mystery Science Theater 3000: The RiffTrax Experiments! For the past two decades, we’ve been serving up fresh movie riffs as RiffTrax, but in celebration of our 20th anniversary this year, we’re going back to where it all began.
We’re thrilled to announce that for 2026, in partnership with Shout! Studios, we will be making FOUR brand-new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000! Mike Nelson is returning as host, alongside Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett as his robot friends Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot. And Mary Jo Pehl will be reprising her role of Pearl Forrester!
The entire production will take place this spring/summer in Minnesota with Mike, Kevin, and Bill as creative leads. We’ll be building all-new, hand-crafted sets and props. And the hilarious MST3K host segments WILL, of course, be back! We plan to release all four episodes by the end of 2026.
Your pledge will go directly towards designing and building these sets and props, licensing the movies, editing and post, sprucing up the ‘bots, and paying our excellent crew. Pledging is an opportunity to help us with production of MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments and to pre-order these new episodes along with loads of other cool rewards. Plus, it will get you access to exclusive updates we’ll only be providing here on Kickstarter, like backstage pics from the set, peeks inside the production process, glimpses at Tom Servo’s dressing room rider demands, and more!
As of February 11th, this project has raised $1.7 million of their $20,000 goal. This project has 33 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $10, you will get your name on their website. For a pledge of $100, you will get one Blu-Ray.
