THE CHASE AROUND THE WORLD 'SET TO BE AXED' BY ITV AFTER ONE SERIES

ITV have axed The Chase's latest spin-off The Chase Around The World after one series, according to The Mail.

Hosted by Bradley Walsh, The Chase Around the World saw contestants on a global adventure competition. The new twist of the format saw six pairs of contestants attempt to track down the biggest brains in Britain - all six of The Chasers - in undisclosed locations around the globe. Unravelling puzzles along the way, the winning pair will pit their knowledge against The Chasers in order to win a life-changing prize pot. 

An ITV spokesperson said on The Mail's report: "With The Chase Around The World only having finished its linear broadcast just over two weeks ago, discussions are naturally still ongoing about a recommission at this time."

Meanwhile Beat The Chasers will return for a new series in early 2027. In the show, to build a cash pot, the contestants have to answer multiple choice questions - get the first one wrong, and they are out, but answer one or more correctly and they get to face the Chasers, who offer time and money in order to take them on.

If the contestants get all Cash Builder questions right, they are given a super offer to face all the Chasers for up to £600,000 - the endgame is a nail-biting head-to-head race against the clock.

Run out of time before the Chasers and the contestants go home with nothing, but if the Chasers run out of time before them, they will win the money for their nominated charities. With Bradley Walsh as our presenter, is anyone good enough to take on the greatest quiz team that ever lived?

The Chase Around The World is available now on ITVX.
