The Weakest Link returning for new series
msn.com'The Weakest Link' is to return for a new series. The BBC have confirmed the popular quiz show will be back for 12 more 60-minute episodes later in 2022, once again hosted by comedian Romesh Ranganathan, who first presented the show last year.
He said: "I'm delighted to be doing another series, partly because it’s a fun show and the response has been amazing, but mainly to avoid ‘Turns out Romesh was The Weakest Link’ headlines. " An all-star line-up of celebrity contestants will attempt to win up to £50,000 for charity by answering general knowledge questions before only two remain and play head-to-head to determine the winner.
Kate Phillips, Director of Unscripted at the BBC, said: "Led once again by our ringmaster Romesh, viewers can expect plenty more laughs and almost certainly loads of back stabbing too as the nation’s favourite quick fire quiz returns, I can’t wait!" Pete Ogden, Executive Producer BBC Studios, added: “I am so excited to make 'The Weakest Link' again out of Pacific Quay in Glasgow. "It was wonderful to see the last series land so well with viewers and there’s nothing we love more than putting celebrities under pressure and making them vote each other off. "Romesh is a treat to work with and I can’t wait to unleash him on another batch of celebrities. " The new series will be once again filmed at BBC Pacific Quay in Glasgow, with 'The Weakest Link' returning to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later in 2022.
