Vem minns minte den episka animerade serien “Celebrity Death Match” som sändes på MTV i omgångar 1998 till 2007. Nu meddelar Viacom att serien ska återskapas med seriens skapare Nigel Fogel och Ice Cubes produktionsbolag Cube Vision. Chris McCarthy, VD för MTV säger:

“We’re excited to grow our partnership with Ice Cube and Cube Vision to reimagine this fan favorit. President of MTV, VH1 and CMT said. “Deathmatch was the meme before memes, remains a hot topic on social media and will be a smart, funny way to tackle the over-the-top rhetoric of today’s pop culture where it belongs – in the wrestling ring.”

Ice Cube, aktuell med nytt album imorgon, kommenterar även samarbetet:

“Happy to once again be working with Viacom and MTV on a fan favorite like Celebrity Deathmatch and to continue our success together.”
