Will Packer Media and MTV Entertainment Studios are bringing their own flavor to Halloween with the upcoming TV film Binged to Death. The film will air on Oct. 17 at 9/8c on MTV.

Loni Love
Binged to death
Carl Anthony Payne II

The film stars Loni Love and Carl Anthony Payne II as two friends and cousins who try to get their favorite reality show couple back together by any means necessary. Think of it as ‘SAW’ but with a pop culture spin.

According to the logline:

After learning their favorite reality show couples have broken up, an obsessive single woman (Love) and her best friend and first cousin (Payne) kidnap the contestants and force them into a series of torturous games, all hoping to rekindle their favorite TV romances.

Love’s character Kristen is described as a wealthy but eccentric businesswoman who is a love-starved mess. Payne plays Terry, Kristen’s best friend and first cousin. Quincy Brown plays Hugh, who is described as “overly thoughtful and compassionate to a default” as well as “still head over heels for his first love.” Lexy, Hugh’s first love, is played by Loren Lott. Lexy has a career in medicine and is described as “fiercely independent and intelligent,” but she breaks up with Hugh after hearing his confessionals.

Jessica Lord plays Sienna, a social media influencer, while Andre Anthony plays AJ, a “California surfer bro that speaks in reality dating show cliches,” although he’s not as simple-minded as he lets on. Dan Ginnane plays “pansexual muscle bro” Quincy, who is described as being too passionate and dramatic about everything in his life. Nico Tortorella plays Zion, a nonbinary DJ who is annoyed by everyone.
