The seven episodes will be hosted by Jeremy Clarkson. Members of the public will have the opportunity to win a cash prize, and each contestant will be challenged to answer 15 questions in order to win the money.<\/p>\n<p>The series will be produced by Stellify Media and filmed in Manchester. Commissioned for ITV by Siobhan Greene, the head of entertainment, with Ben Kelly, commissioning editor, it will be executive produced by Fiona Clark and Stellify\u2019s joint managing directors Kieran Doherty and Matthew Worthy, with Julia Knowles directing. <em>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire<\/em> is a Sony Pictures Television format.<\/p>\n<p>Clarkson said, \u201cI have always loved the show and am thrilled to be involved with its re-birth. I\u2019m a big fan of quiz shows and I\u2019m looking forward to hosting this iconic TV show and hopefully making a few millionaires!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ITV\u2019s Greene added, \u201cIt felt like a no-brainer to celebrate a show that was a trailblazer of its time and broke the mold. In doing this one-off special week, I hope <em>Millionaire<\/em> will be introduced to a whole new generation. And with TV legend Jeremy Clarkson asking the questions, frankly, anything could happen. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stellify Media\u2019s Doherty remarked, \u201c<em>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire<\/em> is one of the greatest game shows ever made. We are absolute super fans of the format and it\u2019s an honor to be bringing it back on its 20th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hit game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is coming back to ITV to mark its 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[377,191,1305,1306],"class_list":["post-6110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-itv","tag-sony-pictures-television","tag-stellify-media","tag-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Returns to ITV - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Returns to ITV - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The hit game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is coming back to ITV to mark its 20th anniversary.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-09T15:43:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/\",\"name\":\"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Returns to ITV - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-03-09T15:43:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-03-09T15:43:33+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-returns-to-itv\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Returns to ITV\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
