Kate McKinnon Cast in Magic School Bus Rides Again
Every once in a while, you hear about a piece of casting so self-evidently perfect that it seems downright crazy it hasn’t happened already. This, I think, is one of those times. Netflix has announcedSaturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon will voice Mrs. Frizzle in the animated kids' seriesMagic School Bus Rides Again. It’s a new version of theMagic School Busof the 1990s, which had Lily Tomlin in the lead role. McKinnon excels at playing weird but lovable characters, and Mrs. Frizzle is as kooky as they come, so this really does seem like a match made in heaven.Magic School Bus Rides Againhas not yet announced a release date.
