‘Catfish’ TV Series [PLOT DETAILS.]

Details have leaked for the documentary turned MTV reality show Catfish. The television show will focus on online dating, but specifically on relationships where one of the two people involved is lying about themselves.

The 12-episode series reportedly sprang out of emails that Yaniv Schulman, one of the Catfish filmmakers, received from people who had been part of an online relationship where the other party was making everything up. He says he and Max Joseph made the TV series in part out of those stories, and that it does feature interviews with people on both sides of each relationship.

Schulman says of the imposters:

When you’re 19 or 20, it’s so common to just post someone else’s picture. It isn’t until a couple of years later that you face the consequences.

If you haven’t seen Catfish it’s a trippy documentary about a dude who falls for this woman, and (*spoiler alert. Finds out she’s not EXACTLY who she says she is.)
