TELEVISION'S #1 GAME SHOW SET TO RETURN

FOX RENEWS HIT QUIZ SHOW "THE FLOOR," HOSTED AND PRODUCED BY ROB LOWE, FOR TWO ADDITIONAL SEASONS IN THE UPCOMING 2024-2025 SEASON

FOX Entertainment and Lowe Enter First-Look Unscripted Development Deal

FOX has renewed its hit quiz series, The Floor, this season's #1 game show, hosted and produced by Emmy Award nominee Rob Lowe (9-1-1: Lone Star), for two additional seasons that will air during the upcoming 2024-2025 season, it was announced today by Michael Thorn, President of the FOX Television Network.

Based on the fast-growing global format, The Floor premiered in the U.S. in January, when its debut marked FOX's most-watched Tuesday unscripted debut in more than 13 years, FOX's largest total multiplatform audience for an unscripted debut in two years and the network's most-streamed gameshow debut ever. Its freshman season averaged 5.5 million multiplatform viewers, a lift of +114% from Live + Same Day. The Floor marks the sixth consecutive season FOX has claimed television's #1 new unscripted series, following the success of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Next Level Chef, I Can See Your Voice, LEGO Masters and The Masked Singer.

In Seasons Two and Three of The Floor, created by John de Mol's Talpa (Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, The Voice) and produced by Eureka Productions (Farmer Wants a Wife, The Quiz With Balls), 100 contestants (up from 81 in Season One) will stand their ground on a massive, interactive LED game floor featuring 100 squares, each representing a different trivia category. The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose - do they go on the offensive to dominate more of the board? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The contestant who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing grand prize.

Additionally, FOX Entertainment has entered a first-look deal with Lowe to jointly develop unscripted series to air on FOX. Series launched under the agreement would be produced by FOX's in-house unscripted studio, FOX Alternative Entertainment.

"Fans loved the first season of The Floor so much that we've ordered two more seasons of this breakthrough game show with plans already underway to make our epic battle of the brains even bigger and bolder," said Thorn. "It's also been a massive win to have a huge star like Rob Lowe as our host, and both our viewers and competitors can't wait to see him back in action."

"I couldn't be happier with The Floor phenomenon and the opportunity to create more unscripted projects with my partners at FOX," added Lowe.

Talpa is the creator and owner of The Floor format. The Floor is produced by Eureka Productions, Talpa and BiggerStage. John de Mol, Mark van Achterberg, Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, Sean O'Riordan and Shane Byrne serve as executive producers. Anthony Carbone serves as executive producer / showrunner, and Rob Lowe is producer.
