A notable web series devoted to the concept of “positive pranks” has returned for another go. Defy Media‘s Prank It Fwd, which serves up heartwarming surprises for its unsuspecting targets, has launched a new season.
The targets Defy picks out for Prank It Fwd tend to be individuals who could use a pick-me-up. Previous seasons have pulled practical jokes on cancer patients and hard-working housekeepers. This time around, viewers are introduced to Jazara Hutton, the daughter of a single mother of five. In her Prank It Fwd episode, Hutton is invited to a performance by YouTube star and musician Zach Clayton. After she is initially turned away and told her ticket is counterfeit (that’s the prank part), she is eventually invited to perform onstage in front of hundreds of Clayton’s fans.
Other practical jokes included in this season of Prank It Fwd include one hosted by the ladies of Eleventhgorgeous and another that can be found on Defy’s popular AWEme channel. Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes is the series’ official sponsor.
Prank It Fwd initially launched in 2014. Celebrities who have participated in the series over the years include Jennifer Lawrence and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
