The show will be produced by English production company 72 Films as well as beloved Bond guardians and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson in partnership with MGM Television.
According to the outlet, “the show will see contestants competing in a global adventure to win a £1 million ($1.3 million) cash prize. Filmed in many of the historic locations featured throughout the seminal Bond films, the ‘cinematic format’ will be a test of intelligence and endurance. In addition to passing physical obstacles, the contestants — who will compete in two-person teams — must correctly answer questions hidden in different locations around the world in order to advance to the next challenge.”
How do we solve a problem like Bond?
According to Variety, production on “007’s Road to a Million” will begin later this year. Casting is currently in process, but if you think you have what it takes, hopefuls are being invited to send in submissions now and throw their hats in the ring. The outlet also claimed that the concept has been in development for about four years now.
“I first had this idea over three years ago. Dan Grabiner and the U.K. Originals team took it to a whole other level,” David Glover, founder of 72 Films, told Variety. “To be working with Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and the Bond franchise is a privilege and a dream come true.”
When the show goes live on Prime Video, it will be available in more than 240 countries and territories. Talk about an international man of mystery.
