Ashton Kutcher says he has ‘nothing to do with’ MTV’s ‘Punk’d’ reboot

Ashton Kutcher isn’t “punking” fans with his latest tweet. 

The actor, 41, tweeted that he will not be joining the revival of “Punk’d,” the MTV comedic prank series he created and starred in during the early 2000s.

“I have nothing to do with the new punk’d situation,” Kutcher tweeted late Monday night. “Hope they get it right.”

The series, which aired until 2007 with a brief reboot in 2012, will return in March for a new season without Kutcher.

The “Punk’d” revival will bring in different celebrity hosts each week, including Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Kellan Lutz and others to prank their famous friends, according to the show’s website. 

MTV Studios earlier this month announced a deal with Quibi, a new short-form TV and movie app, that revived “Punk’d” and “Singled Out” , according to Deadline. 

I have nothing to do with the new punk’d situation. Hope they get it right.

Kutcher made it clear that he will not be back in his role as host this time around.

However, Chris McCarthy, president of MTV said he is “…excited to be working with Jeffrey, Doug and the Quibi team to reinvent ‘Punk’d’ and ‘Singled Out’ for a new generation of fans,” according to People. 

Kutcher currently stars on the Netflix series, “The Ranch,” which will end in 2020 after airing its final 20 episodes.
