'Punk'd' Is Back with Justin Bieber.

Everything old is new again in TV land, as “Punk’d” is officially back in business and is an Ashton Kutcher-free zone.

The MTV celebrity prank series has resumed production, filming its first return episode on Friday in Los Angeles with Taylor Swift as the unsuspecting target, reported Access Hollywood.

A different celebrity will pull hosting duties each episode, as viewers get to watch them set up and execute their practical joke on their unknowing targets.

While he will no longer host, Ashton still serves as executive producer for the hidden camera series, which he first launched back in 2003. The show went on hiatus following its season finale in May 2007.

Bieber is first up as host.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, The Biebs joined good friend Taylor onstage on Tuesday night during the Los Angeles stop of her “Speak Now” tour.

The duo performed Bieber’s hit “Baby.”
