‘Catfish: The TV Show’ Season 9 Preview
Catfish: The TV Show tackles the complexities of dating in an online world. The hour-long series follows Nev Schulman, whose own online love drama was the subject of the “Catfish” film, and director-filmmaker Max Joseph as they take viewers on a deeply personal journey that goes inside the stories of young people as their online-only romantic relationships collide with first-time, real-life encounters.
In this new season, the show is going virtual. The premiere episode is titled “Jason & Keith” and its description says, “In the first-ever virtual Catfish episode, Nev and Kamie won’t let the quarantine stop them from helping love struck Jason find the dirt on his Insta-model Keith. Remote from home, our hosts unite forces to expose the truth!”
Episode two, titled “Kristen & Sarah,” which airs on Wednesday, August 12, sees Nev and Kamie “set out virtually to help Kristen find the woman she loves, Sarah; the search is derailed when a huge twist rocks everyone’s understanding of the truth.”
The preview of the new season says “even catfish work from home” and the trailer teases that “Jason’s alleged Catfish Keith decided it was best to ‘surprise’ Jason during a pandemic instead of Face-timing to reveal his true identity.”
Catfish: The TV Show season nine airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
