Cribs Returning to MTV UK


MTV in the U.K. has commissioned a new season of Cribs that will follow the original format in which celebrities give viewers a glimpse inside their homes.

Produced by Viacom International Media Networks’ in-house production arm, Elephant House Studios, the 8×30-minute reboot will begin filming this spring. It will premiere on MTV in the U.K. later this year.

In addition to the linear show, MTV International and Viacom Digital Studios International have partnered to produce 5×5-minute Geordie Cribs episodes that will feature past and present Geordie Shore cast members. The short-form series will be available on Facebook Watch, YouTube and MTV’s international web and social platforms from February 25. Linear premieres will follow their respective digital rollouts.

“With its firmly cemented status as a cult hit program, Cribs remains one of the most-loved shows in MTV history,” said Kelly Bradshaw, VP of MTV in the U.K. “The new series is set to be warm and funny, giving MTV audiences a sneak peek into how their favorite stars live.”
