Joker’s Wild isn’t the only game show being revived. Deadline reports FremantleMedia is rebooting Supermarket Sweep.
The game show, which debuted on ABC in 1965, features contestants answering questions followed by a timed race through a supermarket to see who can accumulate the most goods for the most money. The series was briefly revived by Lifetime in the early ’90s and by PAX in the early 2000s.
From FremantleMedia executive Vasha Wallace:
The time is ripe to bring back this all-time favorite game show which has traveled with such success over the years. Now, modern technology allows us the opportunity to update the show, making it relevant for a 21st-century audience. It is a great addition to this year’s MIPCOM slate and given the interest we’ve had already we’re confident that everyone will be as excited for its return as we are.”
As of reporting, no network is attached to the Supermarket Sweep revival.
