Dutch format giant Endemol has seen its Deal or No Deal gameshow renewed in several territories, following good ratings for earlier seasons.

... After awarding Australia's highest-ever cash prize - A$2million - at the end of the first season, Seven Network has ordered another series, to be produced by the joint-venture between Endemol and Southern Star.

... The format involves 26 contestants being given a suitcase, each carrying between one cent and €5m. The contestant who wins the right to play the game then must chose which of the suitcases to open or take home the bank's offer.
