After a successful 20th anniversary special earlier this year, MADtv is coming back to the CW for an eight-episode run.

The sketch comedy show debuted in 1995, airing Saturday nights on Fox, and ran for 14 seasons. The cast hasn't been announced, but former stars are expected to come back as hosts, Deadline reports. Executive producer David E. Salzman said the show "will continue to present the hard-hitting, laugh-out-loud, wall-to-wall pop culture parody our fans expect, but in a fresh, new way." A premiere date has not yet been set.
