Paramount Global’s Viacom is calling out Zeus Network for allegedly stealing the vibe of its hit show Wild ‘N Out with their new game show Bad vs. Wild, hosted by Nick Cannon. Viacom says the show is straight-up copying their popular MTV series, especially with how it’s set up. Bad vs. Wild brings together cast members and hosts from other Zeus shows like Baddies, Joseline’s Cabaret, and Aunt Tea Podcast, with special guests joining the fun.

The concept of the show revolves around settling “pre-existing beefs” by splitting the participants into two teams, “Bad” and “Wild,” who then face off in different games. At the end of the episode, a big-name artist performs, which feels just like Wild ‘N Out. And of course, Nick Cannon is hosting and executive producing, just like he does with Wild ‘N Out.

The similarities are pretty obvious. Both shows mix comedy and competition, and both bring on famous musical guests to cap it off. Viacom’s lawsuit points out how Bad vs. Wild follows the same formula that made Wild ‘N Out so successful, claiming that Zeus is profiting off a format Viacom created. With Nick Cannon at the helm of both shows, it’s clear Viacom feels like Zeus is stepping on their toes and taking something that belongs to them.

More news to come as the story develops.
