ITV has re-commissioned the successful daytime quiz show format Riddiculous for an impressive third series. Produced by East Media, part of The Whisper Group, the show will continue to be hosted by Ranvir Singh, with Henry Lewis as the Riddlemaster.
The third series of the popular quiz show will feature 25 x 60’ episodes. Riddiculous launched in October 2022, with the second series TXing in January of this year.
Each episode of the daytime show features three teams of two, who 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 iconic 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. It’s rapid, it’s ruthless and it’s totally Riddiculous!
Casting for series three is set to begin imminently and the team will be on the hunt for fun, outgoing and riddle-loving teams of two who could win a cash prize.
Filming will take place in Manchester in September.
Nathan Eastwood, MD of East Media said: “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.
“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.”
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning ITV said: “The second series of Riddiculous earlier this year garnered its biggest audience to date - over 1.3 million. And with over 2.7 million streams on ITVX in Q1 alone, we’re excited to be bringing audiences another series.”
