The new eight-episode series was shot in studio and outside locations. McDonald then let it slip that Thompson's gay socialite character Buddy Cole likely returns, as do Toronto police officers played by McCulloch and McKinney. "Are we allowed to say characters? I don't know if we're allowed to say," said McDonald, to which Foley quipped: "Allowed? We don't follow no stinking rules."

The new series will have a "very low quotient of nostalgia," said Foley, noting they're "basically just pursuing new ideas and new material." Memorable Kids in the Hall characters have included McKinney's Headcrusher and Chicken Lady, Thompson as the Queen, McCulloch's Cabbage Head, and Foley and McDonald as the Sizzler Sisters. So it's always fun - besides the three-hour makeup process." "I always feel I'm a better person when I play a woman," said Montreal-born McDonald, whose other credits include the Fox sitcom "That '70s Show."

"The Kids in the Hall" started in 1984 and pushed the boundaries of TV comedy, with cast members in drag and sketches that tackled heavy topics, including religion and sexuality. "Cats that all have individual representation," Foley said. Rounding up the gang again was like wrangling cats, they said.

McDonald said they started writing the series before the COVID-19 pandemic hitand had to take a year off before resuming due to lockdowns. "But then a different pandemic called The Kids in the Hall's Inability to Make a Decision happened, so it took a little longer," said Foley, citing delays including a longing to reunitewith the Lorne Michaels-founded production company Broadway Video, and find a global platform. The fivesome, which also includes Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson, originally timed the comeback fortheir 30th anniversary in 2019. The doc includes archival footage, behind-the-scenes clips, and interviews with comedy legends who all took inspiration from the beloved Canadian troupe.Īs Harkema noted at a Hot Docs press conference in March, he felt "proud" to examine the group's impact on other well-known comics who have long seen The Kids in the Hall as "personalities that broke open a window to the (comedy) world for them." Joining it on the streaming service on May 20 and following its own premiere on Tuesday this week at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto is "The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks," a two-part documentary on the troupe's past, present and future directed by Reg Harkema. It also ran on CBS and HBO in the United States. Never ever tell me.' And we're OK," jested McDonald.ĭebuting May 13, the new Toronto-shot series is named after the original sketch series "The Kids in the Hall," which aired from 1989 to 1995 on CBC. "I always say when I'm on set: 'Backstab away, just don't tell me. "We still fight and we still backstab each other, but that's the way we work," agreedFoley. "We would say that anyway, but this time we're not lying," fellow troupe member Kevin McDonald addedin a video interview with Foley. Infighting between members of the Canadian sketch comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall has been well-documented over the years, but as they promote their new Amazon Prime Video reboot of their original series, Dave Foley insists they "get along."
