Hollywood actor launches a popular worldwide game show set to premiere on ITV.
The world of television is about to witness an exciting new addition, as the global quiz phenomenon "The Floor" makes its way to ITV on Saturday nights. This unique show, originating from the Netherlands, has already taken the world by storm, with versions in countries such as Australia, Poland, Spain, Estonia, and Latvia.
In "The Floor," 81 contestants compete on a giant LED floor divided into 81 squares, each representing a unique field of knowledge. From famous athletes to iconic buildings, each square presents a different quiz category. The game sees a random contestant challenging an adjoining opponent in a head-to-head quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, while the loser is eliminated. The ultimate goal is to strategically conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize.
In the US, "The Floor" is fronted by movie star Rob Lowe. The show promises special performances and stories about the times music has helped the cast, echoing the spirit of Soccer AM and Fantasy Football League. However, the broadcaster for the UK version has not yet been confirmed.
ITV's Director of Entertainment, Katie Rawcliffe, has expressed her excitement about "The Floor," stating that it is an excellent addition to ITV's roster of existing popular quiz shows. Other upcoming shows on ITV include "Love Is In The Blood," a dating show that follows single lovebirds at a blood bank while they donate to save lives, partnering with the NHS, and "Loose Women: The Music," a special show celebrating the healing power of music.
In addition, ITV's diversity push, Fresh Cuts, includes a sketch show called "Say! Less!" featuring rising black comedy stars. This is just another example of ITV's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity in their programming.
As "The Floor" prepares to conquer the UK, fans of quiz shows and strategic competition are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the UK host. With its blend of strategic territory-taking and quiz expertise, "The Floor" promises to be a visually striking and intellectually engaging addition to the world of television.
Contestants on "The Floor" face off in head-to-head quiz duels, turning the show into an exciting entertainment spectacle. With its unique format and high-stakes competition, it's set to captivate audiences on ITV.
