ABC Family has picked up the new game show Spell-Mageddon to add to its summer
schedule. The show will debut on July 24 at 9:00pm EST, following the airing network’s
original comedy series Melissa And Joey and Baby Daddy starting an hour before Spell-Mageddon. The upcoming series,
created and executive produced by Adam Reed, Adam Freeman and Leslie Greif of
Thinkfactory Media, has contestants spelling words while being distracted with ridiculous
challenges. No news on who is signed on to be the show’s host. Also, this
is the first time since the network will debut an original game show since Paranoia (FOX Family era) in 2000.
About a month ago, I reported news about the show casting for
contestants in one of my past "News In A Flash" articles and, according to Reality Wanted, the series is still looking for people to compete on the show. It’s
very interesting to see some of the latest game shows following in the
footsteps of Distraction and even
similar to The Chamber like TruTV’s Killer Karaoke. Speaking of the insane
music game show, since Killer Karaoke only
lasted for a season, I don’t have a lot of faith in this series sticking around
for a long period of time, given the show’s premise is similar to Killer Karaoke’s. But, stranger things
have happened. Nevertheless, mark your calendars and stay tuned for the
premiere of Spell-Mageddon this
summer on ABC Family!
