The series will premiere 4&#215;1-hour episodes on MTV UK and around the world beginning this spring, and six episodes later in the year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Catfish: The TV Show<\/em> follows the real-life stories of individuals in online relationships with partners they\u2019ve never met in person<\/p>\n<p>Craig Orr, VP of original content and development at ViacomCBS Networks International Youth &amp; Entertainment Brands, said: \u201cWe are so excited to launch <em>Catfish UK<\/em> and have been blown away by the incredible stories we\u2019re hearing of online love and deception. Julie and Oobah make the ultimate truth-seeking dynamic duo, and bring a freshness to the format that I believe our audiences will love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adenuga said: \u201cAs someone who has spent the most part of my career in the bubble of music and entertainment, <em>Catfish UK<\/em> is my first chance to connect with people in a completely different way, which is really exciting for me. The show is about vulnerability, empathy&#8230;and drama! Rule number one: Expect the unexpected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butler said: \u201cIt\u2019s wild to me that the person who learned about the internet and deception by watching <em>Catfish<\/em> with his five brothers and sisters gets to be a part of its latest chapter. We live in a moment where everybody\u2019s lives have moved online. I can\u2019t wait to travel around the country, meet people, and use the tools I&#8217;ve developed making documentaries, to help them and better understand what it is about society that drives people to feel so inadequate that they cannot be themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MTV International is working on a U.K. version of Catfish: The TV Show featuring radio and TV presenter Julie Adenuga and writer and viral filmmaker Oobah Butler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2115,1030],"class_list":["post-8105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-catfish-the-tv-show","tag-mtv-international","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
