BACHELOR IN PARADISE
Breakout fan favorites from “The Bachelor” franchise are heading to a new paradise in Costa Rica for a second (or third) shot at love, hoping to turn a summer fling into something real. With Jesse Palmer returning as host, Wells Adams mixing drinks as bartender, and Hannah Brown heading up Paradise Relations while bringing the bubbly from the all-new Champagne Lounge, this season is raising the bar on romance, with every detail perfectly shaken, stirred and sparkling. Plus, in a series first, fan favorites from the Golden seasons are joining the fun, proving once again that age is just a number as they bring their experience, and a little extra spice, to show the younger crowd how it’s done.
CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD
Hosted by stand-up comedian, actor, author and Emmy® Award winner Steve Harvey, the iconic game show features celebrities, along with their family members or their extended TV families, going head-to-head in a contest to name the most popular responses to survey-type questions posed to 100 people for a chance to win $25,000 for a charity of their choice.
THE ESPYS
Every year, “The ESPYS” hosts top celebrities from sports and entertainment who come together to commemorate the past year by recognizing major athletic achievements, reliving unforgettable moments, and saluting the leading performers and performances. “The ESPYS” also helps raise awareness and funds for the V Foundation for Cancer Research, the charity founded by ESPN and late basketball coach Jim Valvano at the first ESPYS in 1993. “The 2025 ESPYS Presented by Capital One” will broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and is co-produced by ESPN and Full Day Productions.
MATCH GAME
Hosted by Martin Short, “Match Game” features four contestants each week vying for the chance to win $25,000 as they attempt to match the answers of six celebrities in a game of fill-in-the-blank.
PRESS YOUR LUCK
Hosted by Elizabeth Banks, “Press Your Luck” is a game of wits, strategy and high stakes as contestants compete for a chance at life-changing cash and prizes. During each game of “Press Your Luck,” three contestants battle each other, answering questions to earn spins on the Big Board. Contestants then use their spins to win cash and prizes while trying to avoid the WHAMMY, which could take all their winnings and leave them with nothing. The winning contestant then moves on to the bonus round to face the WHAMMY in a final battle for the chance to win $1 million.
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE
Hosted by late-night’s Jimmy Kimmel, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” features pairs of celebrity contestants playing together in the hopes of winning $1 million for the charity of their choice.
