Matt Kunitz, the creator and executive producer of ABC’s Wipeout, is now in the Lionsgate camp.

Under the multiyear agreement, Kunitz will develop reality programming for Lionsgate through his company Pulse Creative.

In addition to his work on Wipeout, which completed its seventh season on ABC this summer, Kunitz has also served as a producer on NBC’s Fear Factor and MTV’s The Real World.

“Matt is a powerhouse producer who knows what it takes to create reality hits with worldwide appeal,” said Lionsgate television group chairman Kevin Beggs. “Building our brand in this arena continues to be a priority for Lionsgate and we’re delighted to be in business with him.”

“I am excited to be joining a company known for such iconic franchises as The Hunger Games, Twilight, Mad Men and Orange is The New Black,” said Kunitz. “This new deal allows me the creative freedom to broaden my brand with a goal of bringing Lionsgate more successful franchises as they expand their reach into the unscripted market.”

The 30th Real World series will expose seven strangers by forcing them to confront skeletons of their past headon. The new series premieres Dec. 16 at 10 p.m. on MTV.

Real World: Skeletons begins with the show's normal style, as strangers move into an urban loft, once an old night club.

In Chicago’s West Loop, roommates are soon after forced to live with skeletons of their past, in addition to the new strangers.

"No one wants their worst enemy or embarrassing past moving in with them, but by facing your past you actually grow, and that growth, however painful it may be, is what makes this season of The Real World so watchable," said Creator and Executive Producer of The Real World, Jonathan Murray in a release.

Whether they are confronted with estranged family members or broken relationships, the new series takes a deeper look into the strangers' darkest secrets.
