PUZZLING: CHANNEL 5 GAMESHOW WILL RETURN FOR SECOND SERIES AFTER BEING SHELVED FOR A YEAR

EXCLUSIVE

Nearly two years since its first outing, Channel 5 quiz Puzzling is returning for a second series, TV Zone understands.

The problem-saving gameshow, hosted by Lucy Worsley, was shelved for 2024. TV Zone understands the new series will film this Spring and could air later this year. Channel 5 are yet to formally announce the new series.

The show seeks to challenge Britain’s brightest minds as they do battle to be hailed Britain’s ultimate puzzler. At the start of each episode, six super smart strangers are split into two teams of three.  The two teams try to accrue the most points through their powers of puzzling deduction.

Every area of our player’s mind will be tested across five puzzling rounds – In Other Words (language), Pressure Points (calculation), Rule Breakers (lateral thinking), Picture This (visual intelligence) and Memory Bank (memory).

Then, in a dramatic plot twist, the winning team turn on each other to be named the ‘Best of the Best’ and earn a place in the series Grand Final where the ultimate puzzler will be crowned.

Puzzling is available on My5.
