A new game show based on Mattel’s Pictionary is airing on Fox in July.
Deadline reports that the show is getting a month-long try-out on Fox stations including KTTV Los Angeles and WNYW New York.
The show will feature two teams, each led by a celebrity captain, and will follow the standard rules of the board game.
“We’re sure a lot of families got much better at Pictionary over the last 15 months, so we think the timing is perfect for a fun, innovative TV version,” said Frank Cicha, EVP Programming at Fox Television Stations.
Fox’s Pictionary will be executive produced by David Hurwitz, Noah Bonnett and Richard Brown, while Fred Soulie, SVP & GM of Mattel Television and Adam Bonnett, serve as co-EPs for Mattel.
