CBS Orders New Game Show

CBS has ordered a new, supercharged adaptation of the word-twisting, fast-thinking game show LINGO to premiere in 2022.

Emmy® Award winner RuPaul Charles serves as host and executive producer of the game show, where the simplest of words could be worth big money. The U.S. version of the hit international format follows its worldwide success, including its most recent popular run on ITV that premiered February 2021 in the U.K., where it was the highest-rated game show launch in its time period in nearly two decades.

RuPaul Charles brings his one-of-a-kind personality to this primetime order of the clever, competitive and unpredictable game, which features teams of two as they face off in fast-paced puzzle rounds to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words.

The new series will be filmed at dock10 studios in Media City, Salford from 15 to 21 August 2022.
