‘The Floor’ Renewed for Seasons 2 and 3 at Fox, Host Rob Lowe Signs Uns<i></i>cripted First-Look Deal at Network

The quiz series “The Floor” has been renewed for Seasons 2 and 3 at Fox, with host Rob Lowe entering into an unscripted first-look deal with the network.

“Fans loved the first season of ‘The Floor’ so much that we’ve ordered two more seasons of this breakthrough game show with plans already underway to make our epic battle of the brains even bigger and bolder,” said Michael Thorn, president of the Fox Television Network. “It’s also been a massive win to have a huge star like Rob Lowe as our host, and both our viewers and competitors can’t wait to see him back in action.”

Under Lowe’s new deal, he will develop new unscripted series for Fox that would be produced by the network’s unscripted studio, Fox Alternative Entertainment. Lowe is also the star of Fox’s hit series “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which will air its fifth season in the fall.

“I couldn’t be happier with ‘The Floor’ phenomenon and the opportunity to create more unscripted projects with my partners at Fox,” added Lowe.

“The Floor” originally premiered on Fox in January. The first season averaged 5.5 million viewers per episode in multi-platform viewing.

The series was created by John de Mol’s Talpa and is produced by Eureka Productions. In the series, players stand on an interactive LED game floor featuring 100 squares, each representing a different trivia category.

Per the official description, “The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent’s category. The winner takes over the loser’s square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they go on the offensive to dominate more of the board? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger?”

Talpa is the creator and owner of The Floor format. The series is produced by Eureka Productions, Talpa and BiggerStage. John de Mol, Mark van Achterberg, Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, Sean O’Riordan, and Shane Byrne serve as executive producers. Anthony Carbone serves as executive producer and showrunner. Lowe is a producer.
