ITV has re-commissioned daytime quiz show, Riddiculous for a third series.
The show, which is produced at dock10 in MediaCity is produced by East Media, part of The Whisper Group.
It will continue to be hosted by Ranvir Singh, with Henry Lewis as the Riddlemaster.
“Ranvir and Henry are becoming firm favourites in homes across the UK as part of ITV’s daytime offering with Riddiculous, and it’s great that we are back for a third series,” said Nathan Eastwood, MD of East Media.
“Series two delivered strong numbers daily and proved that viewers have a growing interest for quiz content that will challenge them in new ways. We’re very excited to be planning the next series and can’t wait to share it with viewers.”
The 25 x 60minute episodes, will go into production later this year.
In each show 3 teams of 2 go head-to-head in a series of quick-fire general knowledge questions in order to unlock a riddle. The more questions and riddles they get correct, the more money they can bank.
After three rounds, one pair will make it through to face the endgame: Henry’s Riddle Run. Here, against the clock, they must solve a series of unique fast-pace riddles. They then have to decide whether to gamble on a ‘double or nothing’ final riddle.
“The second series of Riddiculous earlier this year garnered its biggest audience to date – over 1.3 million,” added Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning ITV.
“And with over 2.7 million streams on ITVX in Q1 alone, we’re excited to be bringing audiences another series.”
