Channel 4 has confirmed that reality series Tempting Fortune will return for a third series, produced by Voltage TV in partnership with Motion Entertainment, a WPP Media company.
Rob Beckett will host the new series, as 12 new fortune seekers face more enticing temptations, harsher terrain and even higher stakes in this hilarious high-stakes adventure show.
Starting with a pot of £300,000, the group must decide if they want to save the pot so it can be won at the end of the journey, or spend it on the little luxuries that appear during their arduous and exhausting trek. Every time a contestant caves to comfort, be it a hot meal, a soft bed or a personal phone call home, this pot, which is the group prize fund takes a hit.
Rob Beckett said, “Put people in the jungle, take away everything nice, then tempt them with hot showers and burgers. It’s hilarious. Everyone thinks they can resist temptation … until they’re hot and filthy, and suddenly morals go out the window. I’m very happy to be hosting this show, especially from the comfort of a lovely crew hotel.”
Genna Gibson, commissioning editor, Channel 4 said, “Tempting Fortune has struck a real chord with UK audiences, blending adventure and psychological tension in a fresh, compelling way. We’re excited to raise the stakes again for series three and viewers can expect more of the emotional highs and lows, fiery debates and fractured alliances that have made Tempting Fortune a breakout reality phenomenon.”
The third series of Tempting Fortune was commissioned by Genna Gibson for Channel 4. Executive Producer for Motion is Melanie Darlaston. Cineflix Rights is the worldwide distribution partner.
