Oh this is interesting, Deadline are reporting that the third series of The Floor with Rob Lowe will launch directly on FOX after Superbowl LIX on Feb 9th. That’s a huge seal of approval and launchpad for what is probably the world’s most successful new quiz right now, and whose second series is currently airing so you wouldn’t have long to wait to see the third.
Now that it sounds like In With a Shout won’t be returning, is there now room for The Floor UK, or does Alan Carr’s Picture Slam still take up too much space in the “recognising things” genre? We were on board really early.
Edit: You Bet! down for Saturday 7th December at 8:15pm. The suggestion is that it’s a 60 minute slot, although the press release suggested 75 minutes, so who knows what’s going on there. Edit Edit: John Williams has changed the tweet, it’s 75 minutes now.
Edit edit edit: And now we’re getting FOUR new episodes of The 1% Club 9-12th December. This feels a bit mad, I’m not sure what they’re expecting stripping it across weeknights, I don’t think it’ll be half as successful as it is at the weekend (which the rest of the series will be). We’ll see.
