Catfish: The TV Show has been canceled by MTV after nine seasons and over a decade on screens.
The groundbreaking reality series was based on Nev Schulman’s 2010 documentary of the same name, which followed his own online romance that turned out to be built on deception. From that real story came both the term “catfish” (to describe someone who deceives others online using a false identity, especially in romantic contexts) and the TV show’s format.
