Unfortunate news about the new Punk’d reboot…
From People:
Ashton Kutcher isn’t trying to “punk” anyone – anymore.
The actor, who gained fame in the early millennium with the MTV celebrity prank show, Punk’d, is letting fans know that he is not involved with the network’s decision to reboot the iconic series.
“I have nothing to do with the new punk’d situation,” Kutcher tweeted on Monday night. “Hope they get it right.”
At the beginning of the month, MTV Studios announced a deal with Quibi, a mobile-first media technology platform, to reinvent two of its famed franchises: Punk’d and Singled Out.
Both reimaginations of the original MTV shows will be available exclusively on Quibi and will each feature 20 new episodes of under 10 minutes in length, offering an optimal viewing experience for those on the go.
