Seems my gut feeling about the previous update was right, however it was alway impossible to be sure. So it's great to finally have confirmation that season 12 is actually happening!

Guys, I’m starting to get nervous that they haven’t renewed the show for season 13 yet.

Don't worry Joe, we wouldn't be MST fans if we didn't fret over the show when not watching it.

That's funny because I was thinking the opposite--that it's the most positive spin he can put on the fact that no one has given them any new financing yet. So, no actual news on new eps to announce, but don't worry we haven't given up yet, see we're making a comic and we have tentative plans for another live tour some time next year. Sometimes it's good to be wrong, yay!

I wasn't sure which thread to post this in, but since the gist of my post is NO new info on Season 12, this looked like the apt thread.
So...no new info on Season 12 eh? It's starting to feel like Joel really did do some finagling to get the okay to announce season 12 for Turkey Day as its no been 2 months without another peep. (Unless there has been and I missed it, and if so, please point me to it.) Like there really isn't anything in place for the next season beyond a verbal agreement with NetFlix. I don't really mind, but it would be nice to at least hear the rumblings of some movement going on, like maybe a planned release date, or month or even quarter, and maybe the expected episode count, or really anything that shows things are moving forward. I mean, until money has exchanged hands, and work begins, there really is no reason why the party's involved couldn't change their minds.

Man, you’re gloomy. It’s also possible they’re just in the writing/planning phase that doesn’t lend itself to exciting updates. Add to that the fact that this season doesn’t have any update obligations to backers.
Don’t let the fact that TV shows are often created in a kind of vacuum drive you crazy.

A. The first thing that needs to be done after a series renewal is screening the movies. After they come across the ones they like they need to secure the rights to them. And if they by some reason can't be used, substitutes may be found. They are likely at the end of this process right now.
B. Once films have been secured, writing begins. They need to script out riffing for every single movie, as well as host segments for every single episode before production begins, due to limited availability of the actors. If we're lucky we're at the beginning of this stage.
C. Actors schedules need to be planned out in advance, since this is NOT just a small crew that is solely devoted to the creation of this show anymore. They need to create a window where everyone is free and then filming begins. We are undoubtedly nowhere near ready for this, though scheduling is likely in negotiations as we speak.
D. Post-production for an entire season takes months. Netflix won't set a date for the series until every episode is ready for their review, and once they pass THEN a date will be announced. This is what Netflix does with almost every show they offer. We likely won't see it until the end of this year at the earliest. And considering some shows on Netflix take YEARS to debut new seasons, we should be thankful to get it that soon.
E. Any behind the scenes info we feel entitled to expired when season 11 came out. They don't owe us jack anymore. And since they're in pre-production, there is nothing to share.
Season 12 is happening. That's all there is to it. This thread is even more useless now than it was when it was posted.
