ABC Family has picked up new game show Spell-Mageddon, adding the hour-long series to its expanding summer lineup.

Spell-Mageddon puts contestants in a spelling bee where they will have to spell increasingly difficult words while dealing with distractions. The series is executive produced by Adam Reed, Adam Freeman and Leslie Greif of Thinkfactory Media.

Spell-Mageddon, premiering July 24 at 9 p.m., joins ABC Family's other new summer reality fare Dancing Fools and The Vineyard, as well as dramas Chasing Life, The Fosters and Twisted.
