Reboot Reports About THIS Television Show Also Surfaced Earlier This Month
Fans of the television series and movies from the early 2000s also received more good news earlier this month. As The Shade Room previously reported, production company 51 Minds revealed its plans to reboot the former competitive dating series, ‘Flavor of Love.’
The show aired between 2006 and 2008 and has spawned viral, meme-able moments that still keep the internet in a chokehold to date.

Ultimately, the company revealed that production is working with the show’s former bachelor, Flavor Flav, to “reimagine” the series.
“We’re in the process of working with Flavor Flav to reimagine what Flavor of Love can feel like in this in this decade, which is very different. The project is really fun, a comedy in the dating space,” Julie Pizzi, President of Bunim/Murray Productions and 51 Minds, explained to Deadline earlier this month.
However, they are adding a twist this time around.
