NBC has commissioned a ten-episode treatment of The Wheel<\/em>, which is fresh off of a successful launch on the BBC in prime time.<\/p>\n

The game show provides three contestants an opportunity to battle it out through general-knowledge questions where the objective is to keep your spot at the center of the wheel. There are seven celebrity experts on the wheel, ready to help answer the questions.<\/p>\n

NBC’s version of The Wheel<\/em> will be produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television\u2019s Warner Horizon division and the original British creative team, Hungry McBear and Michael McIntyre, who hosts the U.K. version.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew that NBC was the perfect home for The Wheel<\/em> within the first few minutes of watching the show,\u201d said Jenny Groom, executive VP of unscripted content for NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. \u201cIt\u2019s inherent ingenuity and addictive gameplay immediately hooked us. We couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to add this to our strong roster of game show formats.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly rare in this day and age for a new show to become an unqualified smash hit overnight \u2026 let alone in the biggest territory in Europe,\u201d said Mike Darnell, president of Warner Bros. Unscripted Television. \u201cWe are thrilled to be in business with Hungry McBear and our amazing partners at NBC, who immediately saw The Wheel<\/em>\u2019s potential and picked it up within 24 hours of the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled The Wheel<\/em> is spinning Stateside,\u201d McIntyre said. \u201cHosting this show is the most fun I\u2019ve had on television. The format creates wonderful camaraderie among the celebrities, natural hilarity and genuine suspense. I can\u2019t wait for The Wheel<\/em>\u00a0to roll across America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dan Baldwin, managing director of Hungry McBear, added: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted that \u2018The Wheel\u2019 has been picked up by NBC. We are excited to introduce American audiences to this incredible game show. Together with our partners at Warner Bros., NBC viewers can look forward to lots of big laughs, big spins and big wins!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
