Game Show Network Acquires The Wall; NBC's The Hunting Party to Premiere After NFL Divisional Playoff Game

Game Show Network will run the entire first season of The Wall, hosted by Chris Hardwick, weeknights at 8pm ET as of yesterday (Monday, January 13). Executive produced by NBA star LeBron James, The Wall is an unpredictable game show that gives two-person teams a chance to earn life-altering cash prizes by correctly answering a series of questions. With more than $12 million up for grabs each night, the contestants attempt to earn as much cash as they can from a four-story high wall that can dash hopes or make dreams come true. When contestants answer a question correctly, a green ball falls down the wall to add to their team’s tally. Answer incorrectly, and a dreaded red ball drops to subtract from the total. Up to $3 million can be won or lost on a single nail-biting drop.
NBC's new drama series The Hunting Party is now going to premiere Sunday, January 19 at 7 p.m. ET/PT and next day on Peacock. The series debut is scheduled to follow the NFL divisional playoff game (3 p.m. ET) between the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams game and NBC Nightly News (6:30 p.m. ET), depending upon the length of the game. An encore episode of The Hunting Party will air in its original premiere timeslot (Monday, February 3 at 10 p.m.) with new episodes continuing Monday, February 10.
A high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that's not supposed to exist. The cast includes Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia.
