While we all eagerly await the coming 8 part mini-series of Kith, we've dug up what few details there are, I just ran across a behind the scenes clip where Bruce McCulloch talks about the genesis for the script, and our favorite homo Scott Thompson interrupts him. Yipee!
The story revolves around a murder mystery where Death (Mark McKinney) gets off a greyhound bus in a small town named Shuckton and starts wreaking havoc. The whole town is shocked when one of its most distinguished citizens is discovered murdered. As a suspect is arrested and the trial begins, dark secrets begin to tumble out.

Throughout most of the 1990’s, there were two places to go for stand-out comedy on basic cable. One place was The State, which only made it to 3 seasons, and the other was Kids in the Hall, which lasted 5 (Thank Lorne Michaels). Since then, both troupes have branched off and done plenty of other, more successful things, but it’s always nice when we hear about them getting together again.
According to Variety, the team will be returning for an 8-part murder-mystery-comedy that will air in January on Canada’s CBC.
Five members of the gender-bending comedy outfit, whose eponymous sketch comedy show ran on CBS and HBO in the first half of the 1990s, star in “Death Comes to Town.”
The eight-part series was conceived by Bruce McCulloch and co-written by McCulloch, Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson. Directed by Kelly Makin, who helmed the original “Kids...

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: In a world of endless, needless reunions, there's one that always makes us happy: The Kids in the Hall. Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, Scott Thompson, and Kevin McDonald have teamed up for an eight-part murder mystery series called Death Comes to Town. As of now, the show, about a murder in a small town and the revealing trial that follows, is only set to air in January in Canada, where it's filming. Unacceptable. Update! Especially now that we've established that the guys will all play multiple characters, men and women. "It is possible, though unconfirmed, that a special appearance or two by characters from the original series may be made," the release reads. "Original characters include the small town Mayor and his alcoholic wife, a germ gel sniffing town criminal, a pizza delivery woman with Alzheimer’s, a 600lb ex-hockey star,...

Just imagine how much fun Harper's Island could have been if it had been written by and starred The Kids in the Hall. If you live in Canada, you don't have to imagine it, because the Kids are creating just that.
Death Comes to Town is to be an eight-part comedy where the Kids (Scott Thompson, Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Bruce McCulloch and Kevin McDonald) will each play multiple roles, possibly including some of the characters made famous on The Kids in the Hall sketch comedy show. I'm hoping the murderer kills people by crushing their heads.Continue reading The Kids in the Hall reunite for a murder-mystery miniseries

Like the Kids in the Hall? Wish they'd reunite and make some more TV? Well, they are and they will! At least according to Scott Thompson, who told a Toronto radio show they're making an eight-episode series -- called Death Comes To Town, it's a horror-comedy set in a town where the Kids play all the townsfolk. Foley explained, "Probably the closest thing to it would be something like [British cult comedy classic] The League of Gentlemen, which I think was brilliant. So I hope it will be close to that."
