The CW’s forthcoming adaptations of Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble are recording at Television Centre 18-23rd June and 2nd-7th July and interestingly they’re after paid audience members, three sessions a day, £50 a session. The fact they’re recording three hour-long (I think) shows a day suggest it won’t get too onerous or too out of hand, probs 3 hrs once they know what they’re doing. If any of that is interesting to you you can apply for tickets via SRO. Neither have hosts officially named yet, although LeVar Burton has been associated with Triv in the recent past.
People have asked if these shows being recorded here mean we have domestic versions on the cards: not as far as I know, the US has a habit recently of filming shows in other territories to save a bit of money particularly Ireland and Australia. How much they’re saving by coming to London of all places will probably remain a mystery.
Edit: Triv is LeVar Burton and Scrabble is Raven-Symoné, thanks Aaron.
But! The first date for Deal or No Deal 2024 has been released and it’s June 24th, Maidstone, tickets ApplauseStore.
Actually, both have hosts officially named. LeVar Burton for Trivial Pursuit and Raven-Symone for Scrabble. Per the linked press release from CW about their fall schedule.

They’ve been filming Trivial Pursuit the last few days and through the weekend, I’ve not heard any leaks yet.
