Factory has snapped up the global TV\u00a0format and ancillary rights for the classic game show <em>Starcade<\/em> from JM Production Company and creators James Caruso and Mavis E. Arthur.<\/p>\n<p>Under the agreement, Shout! Factory has the rights to develop and produce a reboot of <em>Starcade<\/em> for television, as well as the production of additional projects for viewers around the world. The company will executive produce these projects with JM Production Company.<\/p>\n<p><em>Starcade<\/em> looks on as gamers compete against rivals playing popular video games in front of a live studio audience for the chance to win prizes. The show, which first debuted\u00a0in 1982, aired for more than 130 episodes over three seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Foos, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, Shout! Factory\u2019s founders, remarked: \u201c<em>Starcade\u00a0<\/em>is a classic game show from the &#8217;80s and is pure nostalgic fun. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to work with the original show creators to \u2018retro-boot\u2019 <em>Starcade<\/em> for a new generation of fans. As we continue to actively expand our reach into production and development for new series, movies, unscripted shows and specials, this deal exemplifies the type of content we plan to pursue, which taps into the interests and passions of our company\u2019s loyal fanbase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI consider myself lucky to have been part of the first generation to grow up playing video games and watching <em>Starcade<\/em> in the 1980s,\u201d noted\u00a0Shout! Factory\u2019s development director, Jeremy Whitham. \u201cBack then, no one could have predicted video games would one day become the world\u2019s most popular form of entertainment. I can\u2019t wait to see today\u2019s crop of celebrities, pro gamers and eSports stars compete head-to-head and find out who is the top player on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be part of this <em>Starcade<\/em> revival,\u201d added Caruso and Arthur. \u201cWe look forward to bringing the show back for all those avid Starcaders who have been waiting for years, as well as a new class of gaming heroes.
