Weakest Link Returning to France

BBC Studios’ iconic game show Weakest Link is returning to France with a new adaptation on M6 hosted by Olivier Minne.

Le Maillon Faible arrives on M6 next season. It follows the success of two specials aired on the French broadcaster in October of last year.

Pierre-Marie Gadonneix, managing director of BBC Studios France Productions, commented: “BBC Studios are delighted to bring back Weakest Link to French television with a new host joining the global Weakest Link family; Olivier Minne. Weakest Link has been a beloved family favorite for years with that iconic catchphrase ‘You are the weakest link, goodbye’ sparking recognition and joy all across the world. We are so excited to be re-launching this format to a new audience, and we are confident that this new series, produced by BBC Studios France, will captivate viewers and deliver strong ratings.”

The beloved quiz show has been licensed to 46 markets, with a celebrity version landing on FOX in the U.S. this fall.
