PrankvsPrank Unveils Trailer For Forthcoming YouTube Red Series ‘Prank Academy’

Jeana Smith and Jesse Wellens, the YouTube couple known as PrankvsPrank, announced an original series for YouTube Red last April.

And today, the couple — who have amassed more than 19 million subscribers across three channels thanks to their uproariously ruthless pranks orchestrated against one another — unveiled the trailer for Prank Academy. In the forthcoming series, they will go from pranksters to mentors, “teaching [celebrity guests] how to pull off their most ambitious and complicated pranks yet,” according to a press release.

The show, which will feature cameos from YouTube stars Louis Cole

, Justine Ezarik, Joey Graceffa, Lilly Singh, Charles Trippy and more, looks a little like the couple’s YouTube videos on steroids. In one scene, Singh picks a WWE-style fight in a restaurant as fellow diners look on in horror. In another, Ezarik and Graceffa recoil on the set of a cooking show as a crew members’ clothes burst into flames.
