The reboot promises a cinematic approach to the hidden-camera concept.<\/p>\n<p>Scare Tactics is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Monkeypaw Productions and WMTI Productions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs one of the most visionary creators of the day, there is nothing Jordan Peele can\u2019t do,\u201d said Corie Henson, executive VP of unscripted content at NBCUniversal Entertainment. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to be making our first unscripted series together. This brilliant reimagining of the classic <em>Scare Tactics<\/em> has it all\u2014laughs, jump-scares and outrageous moments. In the hands of Jordan and Monkeypaw, you never know what\u2019s coming next!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful at Monkeypaw to help reimagine one of our all-time favorite hidden-camera shows,\u201d said Win Rosenfeld, president of Monkeypaw Productions. \u201cWorking with showrunner Elan Gale, one of the most creative and mischievous minds in unscripted television, and Scott Hallock, the brilliant creator of the original <em>Scare Tactics<\/em>, has been an absolute blast. It\u2019s cathartic and hilarious to watch people get a little scared, and the scenarios we cooked up for this season are really wild. We can\u2019t wait to share a little lighthearted schadenfreude with audiences soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you get when you combine Jordan Peele, hidden cameras, unsuspecting people and horror-movie scenarios? You\u2019re about to find out!\u201d said Toby Gorman, president of Universal Television Alternative Studio. \u201cWorking with Monkeypaw Productions, NBCU and USA Network to bring one of the most creatively scary and hilarious projects to life has been a phenomenal experience. We can\u2019t wait for audiences to join in the fun of our first unscripted project with Jordan as it perfectly blends horror, humor and reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReimagining <em>Scare Tactics<\/em> with Jordan, Monkeypaw and UTAS has been a dream come true,\u201d said executive producer Scott Hallock. \u201cFans have been asking us to bring <em>Scare Tactics<\/em>\u00a0back for years, and working with this team was an amazing opportunity. There\u2019s no one better at horror and comedy than Jordan and Monkeypaw.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USA Network has greenlit the unscripted comedy-horror series Scare Tactics, with Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":21775,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2848,9435,9791,9792],"class_list":["post-21774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jordan-peele","tag-monkeypaw-productions","tag-scare-tactics","tag-usa-network","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
