MADtv is coming back, thanks to The CW
MADtv has found new life on The CW.
Just months after the network hosted a 20th anniversary special that brought together MADtv alums, the network has announced it's resurrecting the Emmy Award-winning sketch comedy series for eight one-hour episodes.

While the new incarnation of the series will star up-and-coming comedy voices, the network says former cast members will drop in from time to time to host episodes.
"The MADtv franchise is as vibrant as ever thanks largely to social and digital media appealing to a fan base numbering in the millions that relates to the show’s brand of authentic and irreverent cross-cultural comedy," executive producer/showrunner David E. Salzman said in a statement. "We will continue to present the hard-hitting, laugh-out-loud, wall-to-wall pop culture parody our fans expect, but in a fresh, new way."
A premiere date and time for the series will be announced at a later time.
Until then, classic episodes from the show's 14-season run are available for streaming on CW Seed.
