THE CUBE RETURNS TO ITV WITH NEW SERIES, CELEB SPECIALS AND 2021 TWIST

Following the success of last year’s Million Pound specials, the award-winning hit show The Cube is returning to ITV and ITV Hub later this year.

Phillip Schofield returns to preside over the nerve-wracking gameshow, which sees contestants attempt seemingly simple tasks within the high-pressure confines of the iconic, and often punishing Perspex box.

The new 7x60 series will once again see pairs of contestants take on the ferocity of The Cube as well as a 2021 upgrade for The Cube itself which now talks; adding yet more pressure.

The duos will face a combination of single and the new two player games as they demonstrate skill and determination by braving The Cube, in the hope of winning a major cash prize. Each pair has nine lives to complete seven games, each worth an increasing amount of money, as they move closer to the £250,000 jackpot.

As well as the seven-part contestant series, there will also be two celebrity specials – one part of the Soccer Aid for UNICEF week on ITV, and a Christmas special, allowing well-known names and faces to feel the intense pressure as they endeavour to beat The Cube and win £250,000 for their chosen charity.
