What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is hosted by late night’s Jimmy Kimmel. As in the original versions, contestants try to answer multiple-choice trivia questions for ascending amounts of money, with the hopes of winning the million-dollar prize. Players can take advantage of lifelines to help them answer questions and get further in the game. In this version, the lifelines are “Ask the Host” (replacing “Ask the Audience”), “50/50”, and “Phone a Friend”. Contestants can also invite an expert guest (anyone of their choosing) to help them answer questions. In the second season, the contestants are celebrities (playing for charities), frontline heroes, and others affected by COVID-19. Celebrity contestants include Tiffany Haddish, Joel McHale, and Julie Bowen.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire averaged a 0.46 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.15 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 44% in the demo and down by 45% in viewership. Find out how Who Wants to Be a Millionaire stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has been cancelled, so there will not be a third season at this time. The series could return at a later date. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for season three? This game show has been very successful in the past, seems relatively inexpensive to produce, and can use celebrities to help promote their other ABC shows. I think it’s a shoo-in for a third season renewal. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire cancellation or renewal news.
