VH1 is bringing back the classic game show Hollywood Squares as Celebrity Squares, hosted by DC Young Fly.
This rebooted version will feature Black pop culture trivia and is produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat, offering a fresh and updated take on the beloved show.
“Celebrity Squares” will host cultural icons in 20 half-hour episodes featuring celebrities like Babyface, Bobby Brown, Tiffany Haddish, Kirk Franklin, Bresha Webb, Luenell, Taye Diggs, and others.
Two contestants will play Tic-Tac-Toe during the game to collect cash and prizes. The contestant with the most money in their bank at the end advances to the bonus round for a chance to win a $10,000 cash prize.
“We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Hartbeat and Jesse Collins Entertainment for this exciting new project,” said Tiffany Lea Williams, EVP of Unscripted Programming and Development of BET. “This show offers a fresh interpretation of the iconic Hollywood Squares format, with a focus on celebrating black pop culture. With DC Young Fly’s laugh-out-loud humor, it promises to deliver a fun and exhilarating viewing experience. We look forward to bringing it to our audience.”
The show will premiere on VH1 on Tuesday, October 17th at 8/7c.
