THE WHEEL RENEWED FOR SECOND SERIES BY BBC ONE

The Wheel has sent BBC One viewers into a spin as each week, exciting celebrity guests attempt to help contestants win big.

On returning for a second series, Michael McIntyre says: “I am thrilled by the success of The Wheel. The series was so much fun to host and I love how the gameplay in every show was so different but always entertaining and suspenseful. And having socially distanced strangers sing 'The Wheel' to me on my daily walk has been the unexpected pleasure of lockdown!”

Dan Baldwin, Managing Director, Hungry McBear Media adds: “We are delighted to get a second series of The Wheel commissioned. It is a brilliant hybrid of an entertainment show and quiz, one minute you’re belly laughing, then you’re singing the theme tune, and then your whole family is screaming 'Donegal! the answer is Donegal!' Is there a better way to spend a Saturday night?”

Kate Phillips, Acting Controller, BBC One, says: “The Wheel has quickly made its mark on Saturday nights with the absolutely brilliant Michael McIntyre at the helm. It’s been fantastic to see the show become a Saturday night favourite on BBC One and we can’t wait for another series full of laughs, spins and big wins.”

The new series will air later this year on BBC One.
