I would rather wait and see how the new season will be released. The two Netflix seasons were a different show.

These new seasons are not reboots or reimaginings of the show: they are deliberate continuations of the original show headed by its original creator. Netflix gave them additional titles such as "The Return" and "The Gauntlet" for marketing purposes but they are referred to by the production company as seasons 11 and 12, and the new independently produced season as season 13. I have included evidence of this in the links below. Despite the decades-long gap between seasons, this is considered a single show within the same continuity and should be merged into a single entry.
EDIT: FYI the links are to the official MST3K streaming platform (aka The Gizmoplex), not a 3rd party site.

Has anyone worked out where the new episodes are to be posted? I have input that might help if it's not been decided. The first 3 episodes go live to the public this weekend!!
I pre-screened the first 3 new episodes as a Kickstarter backer and can confirm it's the same Mad Scientists: Max(Patton Oswalt) & Kinga (Felicia Day) with Jonah(Ray) as their test subject with bots, Tom Servo & Crow voiced by Baron Vaughn & Hampton Yount.
The series continues after Season 12 with an explanation in the theme song and cold open detailing why & what happened with their move from Netflix to the new location on the moon and why the Gizmoplex exists.
Everyone can just relax because, in spite of any changes, the riffing and sketches are as excellent as ever.

Respectfully, you are wrong. This is all one show. From its first episode on the Comedy Channel in 1989 to today - all one show. Check the official source.

I have read the guidelines. What I - as a dedicated fan of the show - am trying to explain is that the new seasons of this show are NOT a "sequel" or a "revival." Like the third season of Twin Peaks, they are a direct and deliberate continuation of the original show from its original creator.

Respectfully, if you check an official source for this (Gizmoplex), the new seasons are regarded as 11, 12 and 13.

From the guidelines,
Revivals and Sequels
For regular series and miniseries that have sequels, we usually try to mirror the networks. Was it broadcast as the next season or as the first season of a new series?
Did the sequel use the same website or have a new one?
For instance, Prison Break: Resurrection aired as the fifth season of Prison Break, Twin Peaks: The Return is the third season of Twin Peaks, and the brand-new season of The X-Files is season 11.
This update/change request is well within the guidelines.
