HBO Max is adding three shows — Fired on Mars, Clone High (above), and Velma — to its slate of adult cartoon series. The streaming service already offers Harley Quinn, The Prince, Santa Inc., 10 Year Old Tom, and The Boondocks.
Two of these new series will sound a little familiar. Clone High (which has received a two-season order) is a reboot of the 2002-03 animated series that ran for 13 episodes on MTV. Velma is based on the mystery-solving Velma Dinkley character who was first introduced in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! series back in 1969.
HBO Max hasn’t released premiere dates yet but has revealed the following:
CLONE HIGH – Two season order
