Channel 4 has reportedly canceled ‘Scared of The Dark’ after just one season. The show, which premiered in April 2022, featured eight celebrities spending several days in complete darkness. Despite garnering over one million views, the show will not be renewed, according to Deadline. Meanwhile, ‘Tempting Fortune,’ another Channel 4 reality show hosted by Paddy McGuinness, is set to return for a second season. ‘Tempting Fortune’ follows 12 strangers trekking across South Africa for a chance to win a £300,000 jackpot.
Channel 4 has decided on the fate of two of its biggest entertainment shows from the past year. Paddy McGuinness’s adventure reality series, Tempting Fortune, will return for another season, while Danny Dyer’s Scared of the Dark has been canceled. Based on the show’s performance on streaming services, Tempting Fortune has been recommissioned for a second season with eight episodes, an increase from the six in the first series. Scared of the Dark, despite garnering over a million viewers, will not be returning for a second season.
Channel 4 has decided not to renew its experimental reality show ‘Scared of the Dark’ for a second season despite receiving over a million viewers during its first run. The show, hosted by Danny Dyer, challenged celebrities including Chloe Burrows, Chris Eubank, and Paul Gascoigne to live in complete darkness for a week. The decision comes amid significant changes at Channel 4, which include cutting 200 jobs, closing its London office, and focusing on streaming platforms rather than traditional television. The broadcaster is also planning to launch several FAST channels similar to ITVX and has seen a 27% contribution from digital income to its total revenue in the past year.
After months of speculation, Channel 4 has announced which of its major 2023 entertainment launches have earned a second season. Paddy McGuinness-hosted adventure reality series ‘Tempting Fortune’ has been greenlit for a supersized second season, while Danny Dyer-hosted ‘Scared of the Dark’ has been canceled. ‘Tempting Fortune,’ co-produced by Voltage TV, will expand from six to eight episodes for its second season. Contestants are dropped in a tropical jungle and must resist temptations to win a share of a substantial cash prize. The show performed well among viewers, with an average of 1 million people tuning in per episode and a 91% completion rate. Channel 4’s commissioner, Steven Handley, praised the format as a ‘smart and mischievous love-child of an adventure series and a reality show.’ Meanwhile, ‘Scared of the Dark,’ hosted by Dyer, will not return for a second season. The show featured celebrities living in complete darkness for a week, enduring the unique pressures of light deprivation. Despite strong ratings, the show has become another casualty of Channel 4’s recent culling of major 2023 launches, which also included ‘Traitors-esque Rise and Fall’ and ‘Alone.’
TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp has defended celebrity chef Jamie Oliver amid criticism of his latest cooking show, Jamie’s Air Fryer Meals.
