The news comes after ITV announced new international format The Chase Around The World.
Host Bradley Walsh said in a statement: “This bold new take on The Chase combines quizzing with travelling and will test contestant’s knowledge like never before.
“The Chasers are already famous around the world, so fans can look forward to seeing them ply their trade in some superb secret locations.”
The new spinoff series will see six pairs of contestants trying to track down the UK’s biggest brains in secret locations across the globe.
To do so, they’ll be putting their general knowledge, intellect, puzzle-solving and observational skills to the test as they try to discover landmarks and iconic spots.
The last duo to arrive at the destination will be forced to face the Chasers in a head-to-head battle which they must win to continue in the game.
In a joint statement, Sue Murphy, Director of Factual Entertainment Commissioning at ITV and Kate Teckman, Head of Development and Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment at ITV, said: “The Chase Around The World is a really exciting new format taking the DNA of Britain’s most iconic quiz into epic real-world locations, in a high-stakes battle of knowledge.
“The show is full of surprises, problem-solving, and fantastic play-along for viewers. “Combined with The Chasers’ intellect and host Bradley’s inimitable wit, viewers are in for an absolute treat in this brand-new iteration of a much-loved brand.”
