It has been a while since we last heard an update regarding Amazon Studios’ upcoming reality competition series 007’s Road to a Million, and now it seems like the studio has already given the James Bond-inspired show an early second season renewal.
According to Variety, casting for 007’s Road to a Million Season 2 is currently underway even though the series hasn’t made its debut yet. The outlet notes that producers have sent out a casting notice for “more dynamic duos to jet set across the globe using their wits and general knowledge to answer questions hidden around the world.”
“You don’t have to be a Bond fan to apply, but we are looking for teams of two that are very close in their relationship and who would enjoy an adventure,” it adds. Contestants who will participate in Season 2 will be filming “throughout 2024.”
What to expect in 007’s Road to a Million?
07’s Road to a Million is a global adventure reality series where contestants will compete for the cash prize of $1.3 million. The James Bond-themed competition show was filmed in several historic locations that were featured in previous Bond films. Two-member teams will be going through a “test of intelligence and endurance,” which includes “passing physical obstacles and correctly answering questions hidden in different locations around the world in order to advance to the next challenge.”
The series will also feature Succession’s Brian Cox as The Controller, who will serve as the game show’s villainous and cultured emcee. He’s described as an “enigmatic character who controls the fate of the contestants,” and revels “in the increasingly difficult journeys and questions the contestants must overcome.”
007’s Road to a Million hails from franchise owners Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who are executive producing the eight-episode series through their EON Productions banner. This marks the first time that the long-running spy franchise is venturing into television. It is executive produced by David Glover for 72 Films along with Barry Poznick and Mark Burnett for MGM.
