‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’ Teases a Very Cool Cast Member’s Return

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is creeping closer to its Season 13 premiere, and the show’s Twitter account has released a teaser photo for fans who have been waiting anxiously for more information surrounding the return of the beloved series. The image shows the iconic red jumpsuit worn by original host Joel Robinson, who was played by the show’s creator, Joel Hodgson.

Decked out with zippers and giant pockets, the outfit has a faded tag on the inside collar that reads “Joel” with “Robinson” as a name patch on the right side of its chest. On the left, a yellow with black and white checkered “Gizmonics” patch is sewn onto the uniform. To round it all out and pay homage to hosts of years past, three patches adorn the jumpsuit’s shoulder. Taking their color from each of the host’s specially designed uniforms (red, blue, and yellow), the emblems depict Joel Robinson, Mike Nelson (Michael J. Nelson), and Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray).

With this newest teaser image surrounding the return of Mystery Science Theater 3000, fans are one step closer to seeing all of their favorite characters back to roast some terrifically terrible films. As of right now, Collider reports that Ray, Day, Oswalt, Hanson, Yount, and Vaughn will be reprising their roles and that Hodgson will make an appearance as a special guest. A release date for the series has yet to be announced.
