London [UK], July 31: Get ready for more high-stakes adventure as the James Bond-inspired game show, 007: Road To A Million, is set to return for its second season on Amazon Prime Video. All eight episodes of the UK Original series will globally stream starting August 22, 2025.
The new season features 16 contestants, competing in eight pairs, as they embark on a thrilling global journey to win a grand prize of £1 million. Guided by the enigmatic “Controller,” portrayed once again by the Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Brian Cox, these everyday heroes from across British society will face a series of epic challenges designed to test their skills, resilience, and relationships.
From navigating the towering Sinn Sathorn Tower in Bangkok and confronting live scorpions in Thailand, to braving dizzying Alpine cable cars, firing guns in a historic Hacienda in Mexico, and diving through shark-infested waters in the Bahamas, the contestants will be pushed to their limits in a truly cinematic adventure. The slowest pairs will face elimination in the tense “Killer Question” rounds, with only one duo ultimately making it to London for a shot at the coveted million-pound prize.
The show’s format blends elements of a travelogue, a general knowledge quiz, and a high-octane action series, all wrapped in a distinct 007 aesthetic. Brian Cox, as The Controller, acts as a puppet master, setting the rules and relishing in the contestants’ struggles, much like a classic Bond villain.
