While there was definitely a problem with MTV forgetting that it was supposed to be, y’know, a music television station, there were some amazing shows on that network. And one of the gems was Celebrity Deathmatch, the ultraviolent, hyper gory stop-motion battle show. Eight years ago, that show was cancelled after six seasons (which themselves were broken up over nine years). But now that’s about to change as MTV2 has ordered a pilot for a new season!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, creator Eric Fogel will return to the show with Chris McCarthy and Paul Ricci as executive producers. THR also states that the new version, “…will again feature animated no-holds-barred fantasy fights between infamous figures from entertainment and pop culture and will be reimagined for a social media world and hourly Twitter wars.”
Below is a clip showing the Men In Black vs. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson battling it out.
Now tell me, who’s excited for this? Because I know I am!
