Our fantastic collaboration with Prime Video resulted in delivering a version of the format that feels both fresh and true to its core, one that struck a real chord with viewers, who came for the thrill, drama, and their favorite celebrities, but stayed for the novelty, intrigue, and high entertainment quotient. Given the show's rising popularity within just weeks of its launch, we're delighted that Prime Video is greenlighting the development of season 2 of the much-loved format that's sure to raise the bar even higher."
