The international race will span eight episodes with contestants vying to win £1 million — or $1.3 million — in cash. Applications are now open, with production slated to begin later this year, as Variety reported. “007’s Road to a Million” will be produced by Britain’s 72 Films and Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, along with MGM Television’s Mark Burnett and Barry Poznick. The series is set to be filmed in a “cinematic format” along historic sites featured throughout the Bond franchise as competitors undergo tests of intelligence and endurance, per Variety. Contestants will compete in two-person teams and be tasked with passing physical obstacles as well as answering questions hidden in different locations around the world to advance to the next challenge.
Part “Amazing Race” and all James Bond, stops on the globe-spanning reality series may even include a visit to the famed MI-6 agent’s new tombstone in the Faroe Islands, erected in honor of Daniel Craig’s final installment as the British spy in “No Time to Die.” Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
