'The £100k Drop' Recommissioned For Second Series

News Image
'The £100k Drop' has been recommissioned for a second series by Channel 4 Daytime.

Davina McCall will return as the host of the Remarkable Television series.

She said: "I couldn't be more ecstatic that we are back for a second series! The first series was such a thrill ride, and we had the biggest win of the series with £75,000 so l can't wait to see if a lucky pair will get to take home the full £100,000 this time round! It's all for the taking in series two!"

At the top of every game, a pair of contestants start with £100,000. Just seven questions stand between them and the money. To take it home, they must hold their nerve by placing their money on the trap doors containing the correct answers. If they give a wrong answer they will see thousands of pounds of cash drop through the floor.

Syeda Irtizaali, Channel 4 Commissioning Editor, Entertainment added: "We're thrilled that Davina is back for another series of the nail-bitingly tense £100K Drop. Last series saw big life changing wins and I'm hoping this is the series we see at least one pair walk away with the whole jackpot."

'The £100K Drop' will air on Channel 4 in 2019. It was commissioned by Syeda Irtizaali, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment for Channel 4 and will be executive produced by Richard Hague at Remarkable Television.
