The contracts aren't yet signed, but Felicia Day is expected to join Joel Hodgson's Mystery Science Theater 3000 relaunch as Dr. Clayton Forrester's Mad daughter, Kinga.
"The other thing I knew was that the next Mad should be someone who could be threatening, and could have moments of true irrational rage," wrote Hodgson in a post to the show's Kickstarter campaign. "I think I started to imagine Kinga as a character like Alice's Queen of Hearts… to the point where I actually started describing her to others as Queen Kinga, even though she's not married."
Yes it's true, I am going to play Dr Forrester's daughter on new @MST3K! Will terrorize the hell outta @jonahray! https://t.co/yjp6f8QzMk
