Jonas Television Show: Kevin and Frankie Jonas Host ABC’s “Claim to Fame”
ABC is launching a new unscripted competition series, Claim to Fame, hosted by Kevin and Frankie Jonas. The show will feature 12 contestants with famous relatives living together and competing in challenges while trying to conceal their identities. The goal? To achieve their own “fame and fortune.”
A “Big Brother” Style Competition with a Twist
Claim to Fame, produced by Kinetic Content (the team behind Love Is Blind) and Walt Disney Television’s alternative unit, will isolate 12 individuals related to celebrities from the outside world. Contestants will participate in challenges, strategize, and form alliances, all while keeping their famous family connections a secret. This unique twist on the classic reality competition format promises intrigue and suspense as players try to outwit each other and stay in the game. The last one standing will win a cash prize.
The Jonas Brothers Return to Disney
This Jonas Television Show marks a return to Disney for Kevin Jonas, who, along with brothers Nick and Joe, achieved immense success with the help of the Disney Channel and Hollywood Records in the 2000s. The show also features Frankie Jonas, the youngest of the four brothers. While he might not have the same level of fame as his older brothers, Frankie has a significant following on platforms like TikTok with nearly 2 million followers. He also appeared in the Disney Channel sitcom Jonas and voiced a character in the English version of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film Ponyo.
“Claim to Fame”: A New Platform for Emerging Talent
The premise of Claim to Fame offers a fascinating exploration of the dynamics of fame and family. Contestants will have to navigate the challenges of competition while grappling with the legacy of their famous relatives. Will they be able to step out of the shadows and forge their own paths? The show promises to provide a platform for these individuals to showcase their own talents and personalities.
Production Team and Premiere Date
Claim to Fame boasts a strong production team, with Chris Coelen, Eric Detwiler, and Scott Teti serving as executive producers alongside showrunner Paul Osborne and director Brian Smith. ABC has yet to announce a premiere date for the series. Fans of reality competition shows and the Jonas Brothers alike will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipating the debut of this intriguing new series.
