Fox’s The Quiz with Balls will return for season two, with Jay Pharoah (SNL) back as host. Season one premiered in May 2024 and earned the #1 spot among new series last summer. The network didn’t confirm a launch date for season two.
“During its first season, The Quiz with Balls really broke through, thanks to a mix of engaging playability, comedic physical stakes, and our terrific host Jay Pharoah, who artfully invites viewers into the fun,” stated Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. “Not to mention, our long-time production partners at Talpa and Eureka have a few new tricks up their sleeves for Season Two, which made renewing this popular game show a must.”
Anthony Carbone is the showrunner and executive produces. Additional executive producers include John de Mol, Maarten Meijs, Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, and Judy Smart.
“We’re incredibly proud that The Quiz with Balls is returning for a second season with FOX,” said John de Mol, owner of Talpa Studios. “The show’s success in the Netherlands has been tremendous, and we were excited to see how well it worked in the U.S. over the summer. This time around, we’re picking up the pace and adding more play-along moments, giving viewers an even more engaging and exciting experience.”
Fox offered this description of the series:
“Standing on a high platform over a glistening pool, teams must work together as they face a multiple-choice quiz where each answer is allocated to a spot with a giant ball positioned up behind it. If the correct answer is chosen, the ball rolls down and stops just before colliding with the player… if the answer is wrong, the massive ball rapidly descends and mercilessly whacks them into the pool below.
The more players each team loses, the harder the questions get. The longer they last, the more money they bank, until one ‘dry’ family member plays the final round for The Quiz with Balls’ $100,000 Grand Prize.”
