What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, the Press Your Luck TV series is a revival of the 1980s daytime series which ran for three seasons on CBS. Hosted by Elizabeth Banks, the show features contestants squaring off to answer questions in a game of wits, strategy, and high stakes. During each game, three contestants compete against each other by answering questions to earn spins on the Big Board. Contestants then use their spins to win cash and prizes while trying to avoid the WHAMMY, who could take all of their winnings and leave them with nothing. The winning contestant moves on to the bonus round to face the WHAMMY in a final battle for the chance to win a million dollars.
Season Four Ratings
The fourth season of Press Your Luck averaged a 0.46 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.42 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 7% in the demo and up by 6% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Press Your Luck stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
Press Your Luck has been renewed for a fifth season which will debut on October 10, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates.

Oh how i wish i was a contestant on Press Your Luck. I need a lot of money!
I am so happy that “Press your Luck” has been renewed again, this is better than the old “Press your Luck”. I especially like the bonus round. I can’t wait to start recording the new episodes in June. I would love to be a contestant on this show & make it to the bonus round. Also, I love Elizabeth Banks as the host, she makes the show so enjoyable to watch. She’s as good, if not better, than Peter Tomarken(RIP Peter)
I need to be a contestant. This show is contagious!
It’s a fun show and I like that some potential prizes are selected especially for the contestants. Renew the show!
