Bunim/Murray Teams with X Games for Competition Series

Bunim/Murray Productions has partnered with X Games for the new competition series X Games Battleground in honor of the action sports company’s 30th anniversary.

The new format will bring together 30 of the most influential X Games athletes, both current and past, for high-octane challenges inspired by the history of the games. The top all-around female and top all-around male will be crowned.

Bunim/Murray and X Games are jointly developing the competition format with plans to take it to the market later this summer.

“X Games is the world’s leader in action sports competition, and we’re thrilled to be developing an unscripted series with many of the top X Games athletes that will showcase the fearless, extreme action that fans from across the globe have enjoyed for decades,” said Bunim/Murray’s Julie Pizzi, president and CEO.

“X Games Battleground will be raw and intense—uniting legends and rising stars in a fresh format,” commented Jeremy Bloom, CEO of X Games. “It’s part of our strategy to tell deeper athlete stories beyond the field of play and bring fans closer to our athletes.”
