It’s official, everyone’s favourite British quiz show is finally coming to our side of the world after TVNZ confirmed it has commissioned a four-episode special of The Chase New Zealand.
With two out of three Kiwis watching The Chase last year, this couldn’t have come at a better time.
Kiwi contestants will head to head against The Chase Australia’s chasers and potentially go up against the goat, Anne Hegerty otherwise known as The Governess.
Although our version won’t be filmed on our shores, Kiwis can apply to film over the ditch in Sydney and have the opportunity to beat the chaser.
Casting is currently underway to find New Zealanders who are keen on boasting their general knowledge skills.
Since the show is being filmed in Sydney those who are chosen will have to cover their own flights and accommodation, but it may be worth it to take out the ultimate prize.
The show’s host and premiere date are yet to be announced but TVNZ confirmed that ITV Studios Australia has been commissioned to produce the limited run.
This announcement makes New Zealand the 22nd country to get their own version of the show.
Regional versions of the show have been made in Australia, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Israel, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, The Netherlands, Turkey and the United States.
