Hit BBC One Daytime quiz show Bridge of Lies will return for a third series, and the primetime celebrity series will also be back for series two.
The new celebrity episodes (8 x 45') will air in primetime, while regular episodes (25 x 45') of the STV Studios-produced show will follow on BBC One Daytime, both coming in 2024.
Bridge of Lies sees teams of contestants competing for cash by crossing a bridge made up of stepping stones across the studio floor. Each stepping stone has a different option, and the players must try to get from A to B by stepping on the truths and avoiding the lies, or risk falling off the bridge and out of the game.
The first series of Celebrity Bridge of Lies featured teams of soap actors, pop icons, comedians, radio broadcasters, Strictly stars, sporting legends, TV presenters, and some of the most memorable queens from Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK.
Filmed and produced in Glasgow, Bridge of Lies was commissioned by BBC Daytime as part of a competitive initiative to find innovative new quiz formats made in Scotland. Celebrity Bridge of Lies has been ordered by Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning for the BBC, while series three for BBC Daytime has been recommissioned by Rob Unsworth, Head of BBC Daytime and Early Peak. The Commissioning Editors are Alex McLeod and Neil McCallum.
Both series will again be produced by Bridge of Lies creators STV Studios, with Gary Chippington, STV Studios’ Creative Director of Entertainment, continuing to serve as Executive Producer. International format sales, outside of the US, are handled by BBC Studios Distribution.
