Before the first season of 007’s Road To A Million has a chance to premiere, the team over at Amazon Prime Video have already decided to re-open casting for their forthcoming James Bond reality series.
“We’re now searching for more dynamic duos to jet set across the globe using their wits and general knowledge to answer questions hidden around the world,” reads the 007’s Road To A Million casting call.
“You don’t have to be a Bond fan to apply but we are looking for teams of two that are very close in their relationship and who would enjoy an adventure.”

It adds: “Filming is due to take place throughout 2024 and you will be away from home, possibly out of the UK, for short periods.”
For context, 007’s Road To A Million season 1 — hosted by Brian Cox (Succession) — has taken contestants to iconic Bond cinema-related locations; placed everywhere from the Scottish Highlands and Venice to Jamaica in the pursuit of that titular £1 million ($1.9 million) cash prize. Think Amazing Race meets the storied spy franchise.

This project has apparently been in development at Prime Video for over four years, long before Amazon’s $11.5 billion acquisition of MGM was finalised, and “sits separately to any shows that are yet to come out of the pact.” The latter’s ownership of James Bond is, however, believed to be the “driving force” behind the former’s desire to break out Bezos’ war chest.
Produced by Britain’s 72 Films (The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty, All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur) alongside longtime mythology gatekeepers/franchise custodians/producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, MGM Alternative, as well as Eon.
