LUCKY 13: NEW GAMESHOW FORMAT TO BE PILOTED

Lucky 13 is a brand new high-stakes primetime quiz format, which is being executively produced by Kevin Bacon.

13 contestants will be hoping luck is on their side as they battle for a place on the hotspot. They must answer 13 true or false questions for the chance to win a jackpot prize.

To win big, they won’t even need to answer all of the questions correctly. To win anything, however, they’ll need to guess how many questions they’ve answered correctly.

"We’re delighted to partner with Kevin on the creation of ‘Lucky 13,’ a quiz show full of suspense and drama. It’s hard to believe that it’s 24 years since we launched ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ It feels like the right time for quiz to enjoy its time in the spotlight once again...

Creator Adrian Woolfe said: "Whilst I would not wish to make a direct comparison between the two formats, there’s an engaging simplicity and magnetic tension to ‘Lucky 13’ that I hope will keep viewers hooked and on the edge of their seats. It’s perfect for adaptation across markets and languages and we can’t wait to launch ‘Lucky 13’ around the world."

Kevin Bacon said: "I played the game and I was hooked. It’s not only about how much you know, but it’s also about how much you think you know. It’s addictive fun!”

The show records on Sunday 2nd and Monday 3rd April 2023 at dock10 studios at MediaCity, Manchester. Tickets are available via SRO Audiences.
