USA– GSN, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, has announced that Divided will be back for a second season. The first season was launched in January 2017. Divided aired on Wednesday and Thursday nights and was well received with the Thursday episodes scoring +43.5% above slot average and the Wednesday episodes scoring +37.9%.
Divided is part game show, part social experiment. Four complete strangers have to work together to answer a variety of multiple choice questions, unanimously and under huge time pressure. The faster they give the answer, the more money they can win, because each second they argue, the money goes down. With more money available to win in each successive round, the intensity escalates from collectively voting a teammate off, to the final twist, when the remaining prize money is divided into three very unequal parts.
The contestants now need to decide who deserves the most… and who deserves the least. For each second of deliberation, the money ladder of their total goes down… On Divided, the power of persuasion is just as important as the power of knowledge. Divided is hosted by Emmy-winning executive producer Mike Richards. The show is produced by Talpa Media USA for GSN. Executive producers are John de Mol, Jay Bienstock of Talpa, and Michael Canter.
