GSN had their 2014 upfront presentation in New York today. Here's what we learned:
Current series:-
The Chase has been renewed for a third season, consisting of 13 episodes.
-
The American Bible Challenge premieres Thursday, May 22nd at 8 PM ET with a special two-hour presentation.
Upcoming series:-
It Takes a Church, the Christian-themed dating program, premieres Thursday, June 5 at 9 PM ET after new episodes of
Bible Challenge.
- 40 episodes of Idiot Wars, hosted by Ben Gleib, are ordered. The show pits two teams against each other, in "several rounds of rapid-fire questions whose answers any "idiot" should know: the questions, taken from the game, test observation and attention to detail as much as they test general knowledge."
Possibly to come:-
App Wars, where designers of apps show their creations to a panel of judges and the best ideas get help with mentors, eventually giving the top prize to the winner. (Ordered to pilot)
-
Say What?, an "extreme" take on the game of Telephone, with variations on passing information down the line. (Ordered to pilot)
-
Heavy Betters, a weight loss program inspired by
The Biggest Loser-style challenges at workplaces.
-
The Line, a traveling game show where the object, naturally, is to advance to the front of the line.
-
Star Crossed Lovers, a traditional-sounding game show where celebrities advise with their desired pick.
-
The Tunnel, a quiz show in a literal tunnel where contestants must keep tabs on the moves their opponents are making. (More information
