Corbin Bleu Set to Host as Beau Casper Smart and Laurieann Gibson Join Harry Shum Jr. on the Judging Panel

YouTube sensation Meghan Camarena will serve as backstage correspondent

Actor and dancer Corbin Bleu (High School Musical) is set to host the second season of truTV's hit series Fake Off. The series produced by Endemol Shine North America features ten teams from around the country competing in the captivating art of Faking. Harry Shum Jr. (Glee, The LXD) returns to the judging panel, and is joined by two new judges: actress, choreographer and Emmy(R)-nominated director Laurieann Gibson (Lady Gaga Presents: The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden, Making the Band) and dancer-choreographer Beau Casper Smart (So You Think You Can Dance, Step Up: 3D). Meghan Camarena better known as YouTube sensation Strawburry17 will serve as backstage correspondent, a new role created this season.

Season two of Fake Off is slated to premiere on truTV spring 2015.

An elimination competition series that stands out from the rest, truTV's Fake Off takes viewers into the visually stunning world of Faking-a mix of theater, acrobatics, black light and illusion. In each episode, teams are challenged to reimagine iconic moments in pop culture to see who's got the skills to be named America's Fake Off Champions and walk away with a $100,000 cash prize. In the first season, teams performed brilliant interpretations of moments in pop culture inspired by action-adventure and fantasy movies, video games and the biggest global sporting events.

Fake Off premiered on truTV in November 2014 in conjunction with the launch of truTV's "Way More Fun" brand image. The series earned high praise from television critics and viewers alike, prompting weekly audience growth after its premiere. The second season will consist of eight episodes, climaxing with the big finale in which one team will be named the Fake Off Champion and earn the cash prize.

Fake Off is produced by Endemol Shine North America, with Eden Gaha, James Sunderland, Robin Feinberg and Chris Culvenor serving as executive producers.
