DESCRIPTION:
(from NBC's web site, December 2022) Coming off an unprecedented run in the U.K., an all-new U.S. version of "The Wheel" has landed a 10-episode series order on NBC. A hilarious new take on the game show format, the series puts viewers into a spin each week as celebrity guests attempt to help contestants win big. Full of edge-of-your-seat jeopardy, plenty of laughs, huge stars and a spectacular 42-foot-wide spinning wheel, the series debuted in November as the top game show for BBC Primetime since 2011. The game provides three contestants an opportunity to battle it out through general knowledge questions where the objective is to keep their spot at the center of the wheel. The contestants themselves are randomly picked from a smaller wheel underneath center stage. Right answers keep them there; wrong answers throw them out. Only the contestant at the center of the wheel at the end of the game has a chance to take home a life-changing sum of money, so they must do their best to stay there. The contestants are not on their own. There are seven celebrity experts on the wheel, ready to help answer the questions. With a mixture of real people, larger-than-life celebrity experts and a massive rotating wheel under the host's command... the fun and challenges are unlimited. The series was created by Michael McIntyre and Dan Baldwin, who executive produce with Mike Darnell and Brooke Karzen. "The Wheel" is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television's Warner Horizon division and the original British creative team, Hungry McBear and Michael McIntyre, who hosts the U.K. version. |
