MTV developing ‘Greatest Party Story Ever Told’

Yesterday during their Upfront presentation, MTV made it clear that Celebrity Deathmatch isn’t the only animated series the network is working on. Enter, Greatest Party Story Ever Told, a hybrid-live action/animated series .

This half-hour weekly show will showcase peoples’ most outrageous and epic tales covering everything from debauchery and friendship, to celebrity encounters all with a comedic tone. The funniest, craziest, most unbelievable stories will be brought to life through first-person storytelling & unique styles of animation.

“Greatest Party Story Ever” is produced by Den of Thieves with Four Peaks Media for MTV. Ben Nemtin and Jonnie Penn of 4 Peaks Media are serving Executive Producers. Den of Thieve’s Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager serve as Executive Producers and Jordan Barrow and Jared Morell as Co-Executive Producers. The animation is provided by ShadowMachine. Ross Shuman will Co-Executive Produce and show run the animation. Brad Tiemann will Executive Produce and show run the live action.

It’s a concept we’ve seen a bunch of times before, animated renditions of crazy stories are nothing new. In any case, I like the fact that MTV is getting into cartoons again, even if it is a hybrid. Moreover, Shadowmachine produces some of the best animated content on TV with shows like BoJack, TripTank, and others to count on their resume.

Here’s hoping this one gets a premier date.
