ITV’s Wheel of Fortune is set to return and Graham Norton will be the new host.
The show will be back on our screens in 2024 with eight new episodes including two celebrity specials.
The classic game show will be available to watch on ITV and ITVX.
It will once again be centred around a giant carnival wheel as the contestants spin to win a life-changing cash prize.
ITV reboots Wheel of Fortune with new host
The turn of the wheel secures a cash value before contestants pick a letter to help them solve the puzzle.
For every correct letter they reveal in the puzzle, they win multiples of that amount.
Contestants could lose everything on a spin of the wheel which contains “bankrupts” and “lose a turn”.
As well as cash, there will be other prizes added to the pot to help them reach the bonus round.
Everything is up for grabs but only one contestant will get the chance to add big money to their cash pot and see if they can take it home.
Graham Norton is 'beyond excited' to bring the game show back to ITV
Norton said: “I’m beyond excited to be bringing such an iconic American show to a new British audience.
“My first ever TV job was a game show on ITV so this feels like coming full circle. You might even call it a wheel!”
The show last aired on ITV in 2001 with Paul Hendy as host.
John Leslie, Bradley Walsh and Nicky Campbell are all among previous hosts of the show while Angela Ekaette, Carol Smillie, Jenny Powell and Terri Seymour all appeared as “hostesses”, often referred to as “glamorous assistants”.
Wheel of Fortune first launched in the UK in 1988 and was based on the American game show of the same name.
Katie Rawcliffe, head of entertainment commissioning at ITV, said: “We are thrilled to have the much-loved Graham Norton bringing this iconic game show to our viewers.
“Anything can happen on the spin of a wheel, it is going to be so much fun.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
