Match Game returning to ABC?

[bwood]

I noticed a week or so ago that, out of nowhere, the ABC Match Game facebook page updated their cover photo.
Historically, they updated them off and on with air times during the seasons and then change them to a more neutral photo after the season is completed. They don't change them 5 years later.

People noticed the change and started commenting. Someone in the comments on the new cover photo change says it is coming back with a different host, etc, etc but I just thought it was someone stirring the pot.

Today, I noticed they have went through the entire page and scrubbed EVERYTHING ever posted on the main feed, leaving only profile pictures and cover photos. All other posts have been deleted and it is now just a shell of a page.
This leads me to believe something is in development.
Anyone heard anything?
I understand it's strictly speculation but that's not something they normally go do.
Many of the old ABC game shows still have a Facebook presence with posts that are years old since the last update.

^^ It's plausible, seeing the recent success of Hollywood Squares on CBS.  Perhaps ABC wants to have a celebrity game show with a "party" atmosphere again as they used to have two shows on the schedule ‐‐ MG and TTTT -- where the celebs more or less controlled the show.

ABC still has Pyramid, but that show doesn't run so much on celebrity hijinks.

I would not read too much into this. ABC still spruces up and even posts from older social media channels from time to time.

I am sworn to secrecy re details, but I will confirm indeed new production with occur shortly and new episodes will air at some point—likely in 2025.  As ABC is currently planning the entire season ahead, with summer ‘25 impacted by it, and no longer being bound strictly by “off-season” orders, the specifics will likely be withheld for a few weeks.  Alec is not the host and it will not tape in NY or LA.  Beyond that, I can’t offer more lest my impeccable source get angry with me—I can’t afford to lose still more friends.

Might wanna delete that then. People in this group aren't exactly good at keeping secrets.

I shared what I was specifically told can be shared.  Beyond that speculate all you want.  Unless you’re a true current insider I doubt anyone will guess, and jn that case I’m off the hook.  Happy hunting.
