FOX is working on a new game show pilot based on a hit from the UK called The Million Pound Drop produced by Endemol UK. The US version of the pilot will be titled The Money Drop with Endemol USA producing. The Money Drop watches as a group of contestants are given a large cache of cash and then are asked a number of multiple-choice trivia questions. The contestants place their bets on a trap door that represents their choice. If they get a wrong answer, the trap door opens and their money disappears. After eight rounds of questions, the contestants get to keep whatever money is left over if they answer the final question correctly. Production on the pilot will likely begin in August. The original show aired over a live week-long event on Channel 4 in the UK and Channel 4 is expected to order a new batch of Million Pound Drop episodes soon.
