Mythbusters Jr. will join the rebooted Mythbusters on the Science Channel, which is now hosted by Jon Lung and Brian Louden.
Fans are undoubtedly excited to see Savage return to the Mythbusters family, although others may be slightly disappointed the new show will not be bringing back Savage’s co-host Jamie Hyneman.
Neither Savage or the Science Channel gave a reason behind Hyneman’s absence, although it’s publicly known Savage and Hyneman’s relationship was strictly professional and the two weren’t friends when the camera wasn’t rolling.
Hyneman was developing and giving interviews to promote a special type of electric shoe back in late 2017, so it’s possible he rejected a return to Mythbusters Jr. due to other ventures he’s currently involved in.
