Amazon Prime Video has commissioned Boldprint Studios to make comedy reality series Would You Rather: Decide to Survive, hosted by Romesh Ranganathan.
Would you rather… be invisible or be able to fly? Fight 1 giant duck or 1000 tiny ducks? Eat a man-sized bean or a bean-sized man? The show sees two teams of familiar faces compete in challenges based on ‘would you rather’ decisions. This is the way everything is decided – from what they eat to who they send home.
One by one the players will be eliminated until the last one is standing.
Would You Rather: Decide to Survive will see Phil Harris, Lou Hutchinson and Georgina Hinds acting as executive producers, Sharon Fuller as head of production, Sophie Bush as series editor, Rebecca Keating as production executive and Mel Bones as line producer.
Tara Erer, Head of North Europe Originals for Prime Video\, said: “Would You Rather: Decide to Survive is exactly what we love about UK unscripted originals – big, bold entertainment with just enough chaos and comedy. We’ve taken a classic party game and turned it into a competition, because why not? And with Romesh Ranganathan at the helm – who could make reading the back of a cereal box hilarious – we’re confident this show will be unmissable, must-watch television for Prime Video customers.”
Romesh Ranganathan commented: “I’m excited about this new show, and I’m not just saying that because I’m hosting, although that does help. Would You Rather is a game that everyone is familiar with and now we’re making ten people live through these choices, which is both hilarious and slightly cruel – the perfect combination for quality entertainment.”
“The whole team at Boldprint and Prime Video have done such an outstanding job to bring this format to life” said Phil Harris, ceo and founder of Boldprint.
