Channel 4 has ordered a second series of quiz show, Moneybags, from Leeds-based Youngest North.
Hosted by Craig Charles, the series has been recommissioned through Channel 4’s Global Format Fund. This is a ring-fenced budget to stimulate the creation of new, original formats from UK-based indies.
“After such a well-received first series we’re so glad to be bringing the drama, fun and jeopardy of Moneybags back to Channel 4. With £1million on the line once again every week, Craig Charles will challenge more contestants to grab themselves a fortune and change their lives,” said Executive producer David Flynn of Youngest Media.
Channel 4 has ordered 30 x 60 minute programmes, which will air later this year.
“We’re so excited to bring back Moneybags after the first series received an amazing reception. It is great to have Craig back on board to give our daytime viewers more quick-fire quizzing and tense moments,” added Jayne Stanger, Commissioner, Daytime and Features.
