HIT GAMESHOW "THE CUBE" TO RETURN TO ITV

A brand-new version of ITV’s award-winning hit show "The Cube" is coming soon, promising higher stakes than ever before with a life-changing one-million-pound jackpot. The program will be made by Wildcard Television, part of Objective Media Group, an All3Media Company, for ITV, and All3media International will be distributing finished and format. It was commissioned for ITV by Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning, ITV and Anna Meadows, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment, ITV.  Executive producers are Ed de Burgh and Paul Wright, Wildcard Television.

Host Phillip Schofield will return to preside the gameshow, which sees contestants attempt seemingly simple tasks within the high-pressure confines of the iconic Perspex box. This new 5x60 series will see pairs of contestants, from the same household, take on "The Cube". As well as facing solo games, they will also face brand new two player challenges.

As well as the million-pound special series, there will also be a 1x60 celebrity special, allowing well-known names and faces to feel the intense pressure as they endeavour to beat "The Cube" and win £250,000 for their chosen charity.

Host Phillip Schofield said: “'The Cube' is such a cracking format but with the players now in teams and a whopping million-pound prize fund, it now means this high-pressure environment has just got tougher.  I can’t wait to be reunited with the legendary Perspex Cube!” 

Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV said: “'The Cube' was a firm favourite with our viewers and now with a life-changing prize and the chance for players to compete in pairs the stakes are even higher in this new series. We look forward to more jaw dropping moments that will have viewers shouting at the tv from the edge of their seats.”

Wildcard’s Ed de Burgh said, “Wildcard is thrilled to be the team bringing 'The Cube 'back to ITV. It’s a game show like no other, and now with a jackpot that could make a millionaire, the heat is really on! We promise a lot of nail-biting as we open up the famous Cube again.”
