The MTV cult classic claymation comedy Celebrity Deathmatch is being revived by MTV and Ice Cube.

Announced by MTV Studios, this reimagining of the show is being executive produced by Ice Cube and his production company Cube Vision, along with series creator Eric Fogel. Ice Cube will also lend voice talent in a lead role, and more voice talent will be announced soon.

The show originally ran from 1998-2002, and again from 2006-2007, skewering celebrities, politicians, pop-icons and more. A weekly series, this revival will air exclusively for a currently undecided subscription video-on-demand service, or a premium broadcast partner sometime in 2019. This reportedly marks the first step in reinventing the franchise across games, consumer products and more.

Ice Cube, who is currently producing Hip Hop Squares for MTVs sister-brand VH1, said that he is Happy to once again be working with Viacom and MTV on a fan favorite like Celebrity Deathmatch and to continue our success together."

Were excited to grow our partnership with Ice Cube and Cube Vision to reimagine this fan favorite, said Chris McCarthy, president of MTV, VH1 and CMT. 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 todays pop culture where it belongs in the wrestling ring.

Gonna be so politically correct....

I'll check it out for one episode. If it's trash, then forget it. Also, is mills "I'll allow it" lane back?

Same.

I think the last thing I watched was an episode of Jackass
---

I legit forgot that MTV is a thing.
---

It was crap last time they brought it back
---

Ill never forget this one episode from back in the day...

Its was backstreet boys vs nsync, but both bands were already dead

So some sort of plot device magic happens, they all return to earth, but they all appeared in the same bathroom stall, rammed in together like sardines

One of says something along the lines of, Whats going on? Were bored! Lets go to the mall!

Then both bands begin chanting, Mall, Mall, Mall, Mall..

It was deadly funny. I almost forget mtv used to be the tits
