Prime Video has released the first trailer for its upcoming James Bond reality series 007: The road to a million. Yes, the James Bond franchise has resorted to this.
The series is hosted by the Succession star Brian Cox, which controls “the fates of the show’s contestants as they embark on a Bond-style race around the world in the hope of winning a £1 million ($1.2 million) cash prize. Among the 007-inspired destinations they visit are the Scottish Highlands, Venice and Jamaica.
There are nine pairs of James Bond wannabes taking on challenges inspired by the iconic spy. Cox says in the clip: “I put real people on a James Bond adventure to win £1 million. The only thing standing in their way is me.”
The project is a collaboration between Eon, Amazon Studios, 72 Films and MGM Alternative. Eon Productions owns the rights to James Bond and this is the first time ever that they have allowed the IP to be used in unscripted TV.
Eon director Barbara Broccoli said: “People have always come to us to make a TV show, [saying,] ‘Oh, you should do a Bond challenge. But we always stayed away from it because we didn’t want to put people in danger and make them do dangerous things, because it’s not for members of the public, it’s for trained professionals.
Sounds like it would be fun to actually be a part of! But I don’t really watch these kinds of reality shows. So maybe I’ll just try to get in on the action!
007: The road to a million will launch on Prime Video on November 10th.
