What is Clone High about?

Clone High is an innovative adult animated series that subtly parodies teen drama tropes through the experiences of teenage clones of historical figures, set in a fictional high school. The central cast consists of Abraham Lincoln, a lanky and awkward but well-meaning teenager; Cleopatra, the popular queen bee; John F. Kennedy, a jock with an inflated ego; Joan of Arc, a goth girl with unrequited feelings for Abe; and Mahatma Gandhi, portrayed as a fun-loving party animal. These clones navigate the complexities of adolescent life, including identity crises, love triangles, and social challenges, while echoing traits of their genetic forebears. The show is distinguished by its satirical tone, cleverly infusing historical humor and allusions into the plots, offset by the stylized animation typical of early 2000s television. Originally airing in 2002, Clone High quickly gained a cult following for its unique premise, comedic writing, and pop culture commentary. Although the series had a brief initial run, the legacy of Clone High has been marked by its impact on adult animation and its distinct approach to storytelling that blends the surreal with the mundane aspects of high school life.

The first episode of Clone High aired on May 23, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on February 01, 2024.
