Pictionary game show to get month-long try-out on Fox

Posted on 24th June 2021 By Billy Langsworthy

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.
