Similar to Candid Camera, Punk'd pranked celebrities including Andy Roddick, Beyonce and Kanye West, and famously led Justin Timberlake to believe the IRS was seizing his property and other assets due to unpaid taxes.
Since its 2003 premiere on MTV, the series has spawned international versions in countries including Norway, Iceland and India.

While details of the 2012 revival are scarce, MTV invites fans to tune in to their annual New Year's Eve broadcast for a sneak peek of the upcoming season, executive produced by Kutcher.

7Hasn't he become an adult yet? I am just so disappointed in him on and off screen. Not interested in Punk'd.
I liked Punk'd too. Not a huge fan of it. But Ashton has to get back to work now since he messed up with Demi.
So happy punk'd is coming back, I really enjoyed the show. can't wait to see who he gets next. Ihope he punk's ice-T luv you ice.
They should Punk Paris Hilton but I'm sure she won't sign the release to broadcast it. Her ego couldn't handle it.
Loved Punk'd! It was so good! Hopefully Ashton cuts his terrible hair soon!
