Kim Kardashian will be turning the tables on her fellow celebrity parents as she executive produces an unscripted prank show series called "You Kiddin' Me." The 10-episode comedy series will be premiering on Facebook Watch's video service, and is said to be inspired by who else but the Kardashian-West-Jenner families' antics.
Film production outfit Lionsgate has partnered with Facebook to deliver the series that will feature kids of different celebrities being in the ear of their famous parents, and basically ordering them around and telling them what to do. It will all make for a humorous programming, with the celebrity adults as the source of all jokes.
In a statement from Kardashian-West, she said, "I know from firsthand experience that children are wise beyond their years and can come up with the craziest things, so imagine how funny it will be to see them make all the decisions. I'm delighted to be working with the Lionsgate and Facebook teams on this exciting new venture and invite viewers to witness their favorite celebrity parents get pranked when we launch the series on Facebook Watch."
Apart from being celebrity-centric, "You Kiddin' Me" will also include Facebook-audience participation. The show will allow crowdsourcing on the social media platform, wherein fans can suggest prank ideas and may even be selected to personally participate in the said pranks.
It will be made widely available on Facebook's TV apps, as well as on mobile and desktop.
Lionsgate's executive vice-president Jennifer O'Connell expressed excitement over their pact with Facebook as the collaboration will be "bringing viewers a buzz-worthy, high-quality unscripted series that taps into the fun family dynamics that Kim knows best."
There is no word yet as to the official release date but, in the meantime, Facebook Watch viewers can already enjoy original projects such as the dark comedy "Sorry for Your Loss," starring Elizabeth Olsen and Kelly Marie Tran, and "Five Points," a teen drama based on the Chicago's South Side.
