MTV Studios is set to revive their stop-motion animated series Celebrity Deathmatch, which featured various celebrities engaging in highly stylized and ultra violent wrestling matches.

“We’re excited to grow our partnership with Ice Cube and Cube Vision to reimagine this fan favorite. ’Deathmatch’ was the meme before memes,...
