  Does anyone know if The Wheel USA is going to be picked up by anyone here in the UK?

It's owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (Filmed at Warner Bros Studios in LA), so could turn up anywhere, perhaps the BBC might be interested.

  I'd've thought BBC would have first dibs on it tbh, but not sure that's how TV works anymore. I have read the BBC is getting the US version of The Traitors so hopefully the same will happen with The Wheel USA.

Do American gameshows tend to get picked up for UK tv?

Will British viewers know many of the so called experts? I looked up the guests in series 1 and had only heard of three.

Re: The Wheel USA

  Well, we have now got The Traitors US on iPlayer. I looked at the picture advertising it & only recognised Alan Cumming, & he's the host.

  As for The Wheel USA, at least it still has Michael McIntyre as the host. I don't think it matters about the experts so much as it's a fun show anyway.

  @nolte  Strictly speaking, it's a British game show that has now been developed for the US. It's not like it's Jeopardy or The Pyramid Game.

OK, good to know

 

I guess if it does end up being shown this side of the atlantic, it may be Watch/W or BBC 3. Just wait and see.
