Update On Future Of Dark Side Of The Ring With Vice Bankruptcy

VICE

Dark Side of the Ring co-creator Evan Husney has commented on the future of the show following VICE bankruptcy news.

On May 15, VICE Media filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. In a statement made by VICE, the company stated, “The process is likely to result in the sale of VICE, which will continue to operate during the proceedings.”

Despite this, Husney previously stated that nothing has changed for Dark Side of the Ring and the health of the show, with the first episode of season 4 airing on May 30.

In a new interview with Comicbook, Husney provided an update on the situation, noting that it’s ‘business as usual’ for the Dark Side of the Ring crew.

Noting that they’re good to go, he said:

“No (this isn’t the end). We definitely want to keep the show going. We love making the show and we love telling these stories.

“With Tales from the Territories, we had such a fun time just rediscovering our love for the territory era, that Kayfabe era.

“We just loved that so much. And I think that’s carried over into Dark Side (Season) Four. There’s a lot of territory era stories, Magnum TA, Junkyard Dog, Adrian Adonis. You got all those. So that definitely inspired that. So we’re exploring that and there’s more to explore.

“I think, what you’re reading about Vice right now, I think the good news is … Obviously, I’m not an official … someone who can comment on behalf of the company or anything, but from what’s been explained to me, it’s business as usual.

“Vice TV, the TV channel, the entity, that’s a separate entity from Vice Media. So we’re good to go and we want to keep going and we have plans to.”
