The first look at the upcoming new episodes of the reality television series — set to air on the cable channel on Tuesday, October 3 — sees Schulman and Crawford looking into the program’s “biggest scammers yet.” The series follows people getting tricked online by posers in relationships, friendships, and even business.

The first teaser for the fresh new episodes features Schulman and Crawford yet again tracking down deceivers, with Schulman telling someone, “Whoever you’re talking to has been lying.” Crawford then asked the special guest how much money they sent to the potential catfish.

MTV will be serving up a new batch of the freshest caught catfish ever. Join Nev Schulman, Kamie Crawford, and other mystery co-hosts as they brave the dark waters of the internet on their quest to peel back the digital masks of scammers, lovers, and liars.”
Schulman’s Own “Catfish” Experience
Schulman, who created the reality show alongside Ariel Schulman and Max Joseph, was a victim of online deceit himself. Catfish: The TV Show is based on a 2010 documentary titled Catfish, which follows then-young photographer Schulman as he sets out to meet his online beau face-to-face, only to discover the shocking truth. The documentary film was a critical success and became the inspiration behind MTV’s reality show. In addition, the film Henry Joost and Ariel directed is also credited with coining the term “catfish” or “catfishing,” which refers to a person who adopts a fake persona.
Joseph served as the co-host of the show but was replaced by Crawford (who served as only the guest co-host for Season 7) on the reality series’ eighth season. You can watch the trailer for the show’s brand-new episodes below.
