In his interview with Deadline, McCarthy also noted that MTV is looking to reboot some of the reality shows that helped put the network on the map as a beacon of the genre.
This certainly fits with the news that came down a couple of weeks ago, which announced that MTV was bringing back My Super Sweet 16 in the near future.
So, MTV is making moves to get their reality show and music groove back in the coming months, and, to that end, the network has already canceled two of its scripted shows.
Just this week, freshman comedies Loosely Exactly Nicole and Mary + Jane were canceled by the channel, likely to make room for new programming that will more closely fit the new direction of the network.
