Who Wants to Be a Millionaire background

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

The next show features a thrilling competition where contestants rely on audience feedback, strategic elimination of options, and expert advice from a trusted friend to tackle increasingly challenging trivia questions, with the potential to win escalating cash prizes.

A long-running quiz show has been adapted from its British counterpart, where contestants can win up to $1 million by correctly answering 14 multiple-choice questions within a half-hour time frame. The show's format has evolved, but its core concept remains the same: answering trivia questions to win large sums of money.
