With the pageantry of revivals at an all-time high, it’s no surprise that MTV is digging into its TV graveyard and rebooting two classic shows…with a twist.
The network just announced that it’s developing all-new versions of Singled Out and Punk’d. But there’s a catch.
The two revived series will be broadcast on Quibi, a mobile-first streaming platform. Although each show will feature 20 new episodes, the installments will be less than ten minutes long.
“This deal builds on MTV’s strategy of reinventing our iconic shows to reach new audiences on pioneering new platforms like Quibi,” Chris McCarthy, the president of MTV, said in a statement. “We are excited to be working with Jeffrey, Doug and the Quibi team to reinvent Punk’d and Singled Out for a new generation of fans.”
