VH1 Renews "Hip Hop Squares" For A Second Season

About a few days before the revived series wraps up its first season on the network, VH1 announced its decision to order an additional season of Hip Hop Squares. The decision stems from the show averaging healthy ratings, including the premiere episode attracting 3.2 million total viewers. It has ranked as the top non-sports cable show in its time period with 
persons 18-34 and VH1’s highest-rate new series in a year. The new edition of Hip Hop Squares is executive produced by Ice Cube and hosted by DeRay Davis. The show wraps up its first season tonight at 9:00pm and 9:30pm ET with rappers Fat Joe and French Montana squaring off (no pun intended) in the first episode and singing trios Bell Biv DeVoe and SWV compete against each other in the second.

Third Season of “Hip Hop Squares” To Premiere Monday, March 13 on VH1

After taking a four-year hiatus, Hip Hop Squares is set to return for a brand new, completely revamped series tomorrow at 9:00pm and 9:30pm ET. A lot of changes are coming down the pike for Hip Hop Squares including the show moving from New York to Los Angeles, a brand new set, a new host in former frequent HHS panelist DeRay Davis and the new series is executive produced by Ice Cube. The other major change that has seemingly occurred in this series is that two celebrities will compete on each episode instead of civilian contestants. Models Tyson Beckford will be facing Don Benjamin in the first episode and husband/wife Ray J and Princess Love will be going head-to-head against each other in the second episode. Check out a special five-minute preview of the premiere episode on VH1.com and stay tuned for the star-studded, exciting, lively and unpredictable third season of Hip Hop Squares starting tomorrow on VH1.

VH1 and Ice Cube Revive “Hip Hop Squares”

VH1 and Ice Cube’s production company, Cube Vision, are partnering to bring Hip Hop Squares back to cable television. According The Hollywood Reporter from its sources, the network has ordered at least 20 episodes and the series is scheduled to resume this fall. Much like the original version, Hip Hop Squares has two contestants play a series of tic-tac-toe games  by earning squares based on whether they can correctly predict if the celebrities are giving right or wrong answers to trivia questions. The latest edition of the classic game show, originally developed by Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley, first aired on MTV2 in 2012 with radio DJ Peter Rosenburg hosting the series for two seasons. Ice Cube will executive produce the show with Jesse Collins Entertainment, Jeff Kwatinetz’s The Firm and CBS Television Distribution.
