Any one looking for a music-documentary featuring the likes of Demi Lovato and Snoop Dogg? Well, you're in luck!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, MTV has set forth plans to create an hour-long documentary series titled The Ride that it will spread across its international markets. The network originally did this back in June when it aired in the United Kingdom and centered on the career of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The series will pick up again overseas this coming October.
Other markets outside of the UK will be delighted with The Ride's presence beginning on Sept. 26, according to Viacom International Media Networks, which owns the famed once-upon-a-time music network.
After Snoop and Lovato, The Ride will showcase the careers of Linkin Park, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Hudson and T.I. with other artists scheduled to be subjects.
Produced by Storyville Entertainment, the network promises to give fans "intimate access to some of the biggest names in music" by documenting "the key moments in their careers, culminating in what they regard as their most transformative, breakthrough moment."
Ten episodes of the docuseries has been ordered thus far, with MTV hoping it harnesses their "unparalleled access to the world's biggest musical stars," as a spokesperson put it.
As of now, the international market is the key target audience for the series. The network has no plans to air it in the United States. But surely, it'll happen at some point.
Betsy Schechter and Caroline Christopher from Storyville Entertainment, and Bruce Gillmer and Elyse Zaccaro for MTV International will be acting as executive producers.
