MTN Dew will showcase MTN Dew Zero Sugar, the newest offering from the beverage brand, in a 30-second in-game advertisement during Super Bowl LIV. The television commercial kicks off an omni-channel marketing campaign that touts the tagline 'As Good As the Original, Maybe Even Better,' and puts a twist on a scene from the classic Warner Bros. Pictures horror film, The Shining. The ad features actors, Bryan Cranston and Tracee Ellis Ross in a fun re-imagination of the famous "Here's Johnny" scene from the film.

Watch Cranston as Jack Torrance, and Ellis Ross as his wife, Wendy Torrance in the MTN Dew Zero Sugar Super Bowl commercial. Both actors brought their comedic persona to the ad, with the intent of bringing laughs to a scene that has terrorized audiences for decades. This modernized MTN Dew version of the story, further showcased how some things really can be as good as the original.

Surrounding the big game, MTN Dew is bringing elements from the TV commercial to consumers through Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok.
