EightState Studios has announced the premiere date for “The Spell Off Live!” The first season of the creator-driven competition series will kick off on Aug. 11 at 10 p.m. ET on YouTube. DC Young Fly is the host and executive producer, with creator Funny Marco serving as remote host.
The series brings together celebrities, comedians, athletes and digital creators in high-pressure spelling challenges. Winners direct charitable donations to educational non-profits of their choice.
“Spelling is something everyone thinks they can do until the pressure is on,” said DC Young Fly. “That’s what makes this so much fun. You’ve got athletes, comedians, creators and entertainers all stepping outside their comfort zones, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s competitive, it’s funny, and it’s all for a good cause.”
Funny Marco will extend the experience beyond the stage with social content, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes moments. He will take to the streets of Atlanta with surprise spelling challenges, celebrity run-ins and fan interactions.
“The Spell Off Live!” is the debut original series from EightState Studios, the entertainment studio founded by entrepreneur Adam Wexler and produced in partnership with Deviants Media. Ivan Dudynsky and showrunner Jayson Belt are executive producers and directors.
