Fox Renews THE QUIZ WITH BALLS

Fox has renewed THE QUIZ WITH BALLS for a second season.

“During its first season, THE QUIZ WITH BALLS really broke through, thanks to a mix of engaging playability, comedic physical stakes, and our terrific host Jay Pharoah, who artfully invites viewers into the fun,” said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network, in a statement. “Not to mention, our long-time production partners at Talpa and Eureka have a few new tricks up their sleeves for season 2, which made renewing this popular game show a must.”

“We’re incredibly proud that The Quiz with Balls is returning for a second season with FOX,” added John de Mol, owner of Talpa Studios. “The show’s success in the Netherlands has been tremendous, and we were excited to see how well it worked in the U.S. over the summer. This time around, we’re picking up the pace and adding more play-along moments, giving viewers an even more engaging and exciting experience.”

Executive producer Chris Culvenor added, “We are excited to re-team with FOX and Talpa for a new season of The Quiz with Balls. The show’s large-scale, originality and high stakes have captivated the audience and with Jay Pharoah returning as our brilliant host, Season Two is set to make another big splash.”

In the series, “Standing on a high platform over a glistening pool, teams must work together as they face a multiple-choice quiz where each answer is allocated to a spot with a giant ball positioned up behind it. If the correct answer is chosen, the ball rolls down and stops just before colliding with the player… if the answer is wrong, the massive ball rapidly descends and mercilessly whacks them into the pool below. The more players each team loses, the harder the questions get. The longer they last, the more money they bank, until one “dry” family member plays the final round for The Quiz with Balls’ $100,000 Grand Prize.”

Anthony Carbone serves as showrunner.
