Overview

• The season’s format overhaul introduces the 'Killer Question', a sudden-death quiz that eliminates one team each round by pitting the two slowest duos against each other.
• Succession star Brian Cox returns as The Controller with more direct engagement and empathy for contestants facing constant scrutiny.
• Participants include eight pairs—ranging from a father-and-son team to siblings, married couples and best friends—competing for a £1 million prize.
• Challenges span confronting live scorpions in Thailand, scaling Bangkok’s Sinn Sathorn Tower, enduring Alpine cable cars, target shooting at a Mexican hacienda and shark dives in the Bahamas.
• A newly appointed assistant will supply Brian Cox with real-time contestant data in the command centre to heighten competitive tension.
