Network 10 is kicking off February with a refreshed weeknight game show lineup, as Millionaire Hot Seat returns to screens from Monday, 2 February.

A double game show block

From Monday to Friday, audiences will see two of Australia’s most recognisable game shows airing back-to-back.

Deal Or No Deal, hosted by Grant Denyer, will continue at 6.30pm, followed by the premiere of the new season of Millionaire Hot Seat at 7pm.

In Deal Or No Deal, contestants face off against the Banker in a bid to win up to $100,000, weighing risk and reward as they decide whether to take a deal or hold out for the jackpot.

Back in the hot seat

Millionaire Hot Seat will be hosted by actor and presenter Rebecca Gibney, marking her return to prime-time entertainment television.

Each episode will see six contestants test their general knowledge under pressure, competing for cash prizes of up to $1 million.

The format challenges players to survive a fast-paced quiz environment, where one wrong move can end their run in the hot seat.
