LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Hoping to reunite with the stuck-up cheerleader who wouldn't go with you to prom? Or dreaming of rubbing your current success in the face of the bully who picked on you all through third grade? Or desperate to get revenge on the drill sergeant who picked on your all through basic training? Or dreaming of being brought back together with somebody from your past who you actually liked? Twentieth Television and the website Classmates.com are making such get-together easier than ever with a new half-hour series.

"Classmates" will launch on June 30 on select owned-and-operated FOX channels. The show will offer unscripted reunions between all sorts of people who loved, hated and tortured each other in the past. The possibilities are limited only be the character dynamics of the participants and the excitement available in their respective hometowns.

"Classmates.com has more than 35 million members, and our show, " Classmates" will give real people the chance to reunite with old flames, long-lost friends and even rivals," says Bob Cook, president and CEO of Twentieth Television. "Since one of the people being reunited won't know who is trying to contact them, the nervous tension leading up to the reunion, and the results afterward, are sure to keep viewers interested and engaged."

David Armour will serve as executive producer and showrunner, along with executive producers Matt Papish and Glen Freyer. Freyer, who created and developed the show's concept, is with the development team Foxlab.
