Roommates, pardon my excitement but if there was one show I knew I could win as a kid, it was Nickelodeon’s “Legends of the Hidden Temple.”
So now that it’s being reported that the show is being rebooted for adults, I’m like, “Where do I sign up?!?” You heard that right; #Quibi announced it’s “Legends of the Hidden Temple” for a grown-up audience “that’s grown up along with them,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
All the stuff from the original kids show like the all-knowing Olmec, the Moat Crossing challenge, and the famous Temple Run will return, but the upgrades are going to be crazy.
“The entire set will be taken out of the studio, into a jungle, and scaled up with tougher challenges and bigger prizes on the line,” according to the news release.
“Bringing back Legends for Quibi is a dream come true,” said Scott A. Stone, one of the original show’s creators and an executive producer on the adult reboot. “I have been so lucky to be part of this defining millennial show, and now there is a defining millennial platform to go with it. I couldn’t be more excited.”
Nickelodeon and Stone & Company Entertainment are also back as producers.
Quibi will soon be casting contestants to compete on the show.
The original Legends of the Hidden Temple — from Stone, David G. Stanley, and Stephen R. Brown — aired on Nickelodeon for six years, from 1993 to 1999. The network debuted a movie based on the show from director Joe Menendez back in 2016.
Quibi is set to launch the reboot on April 6th, 2020.
