MTV has been digging into reboots of their classic programming and it looks like the network with try its hand at bringing back Celebrity Deathmatch as well. According to Deadline,
MTV Studios will team up with executive producers Ice Cube and Jeff
Kwatinetz to bring the claymation-based series back to the small screen.In
addition to executive producing, Ice Cube will also star in the reboot,
while series creator Eric Fogel will also be an executive producer on
the new episodes. Additional showrunners and talent will be named
shortly.
The original series ran between 1998-2002, with Fogel and his staff often
pulling from the headlines to skewer (and perhaps start) a number of
celebrity beefs. The stop-motion Claymation added to the visual lure of
the series, allowing for over-the-top physical aggression to take place
between celebrities, politicians, musicians and other public figures.
“Happy to once again be working with Viacom and MTV on a fan favorite like Celebrity Deathmatch and to continue our success together,” said Ice Cube.
I feel like there's potential with the celebrities of the now for some good comedic jabs.
MTV Studios Set to Reboot 'Celebrity Deathmatch'
Wow, that's a show I completely forgot about.
Please don't fuck this up.
sorry, but you're been replaced by the jerma rumble
It'll be canceled after one season, just like the Beavis and Butthead continuation. The audience simply isn't there anymore. MTV's demographic is completely different now than what it was back in its glory days.
I don't feel like it can work in this day and age to be honest.
I'll allow it.
Yeah, I can’t imagine this being anything other than a trainwreck.
Watching this was great as a kid, just because all the violence and swearing made it feel like something you shouldn't be watching but nowadays, I sleep.
The only place it can really survive is on adult swim
I'd be fine with it if mtv wasn't 10 minutes of ads and 5 minutes of content
I have a feeling they'll fuck it up, but damn if I wouldn't love to see Trump and Mueller going at it in a July 4th special.
it's about god damned time. i've been thinking about this show a lot lately, several of the episodes are on YouTube FYI
Just bring back music, guys.
If it's not claymation and smart then don't bother.
Beavis and Butthead and Good Vibes were the highest rated shows MTV had in a decade; the audience was there and people showed up to watch. MTV's execs pulled the plug despite the ratings. They shot themselves in the face.
i remember playing the PS1 game - was fun in its own quirky way

This has a very low chance of being brilliant and a very large chabce of being the worst case of cringe from the channel in a very long time.
Im honestly surprised the channel still exists.
They should just make this a Netflix series or something. Nobody gives a shit about MTV anymore.
I swear they already did this.
I always wanted to see Beavis & Butthead vs Kenan and Kel
