“We’re already preparing ourselves for another series of nail-biting drama, jeopardy and tension as we present more questions you can’t help but Google! We’re expecting more, and higher, dizzying climbs up the Limitless money ladder. We can’t wait,” Declan Donnelly added.
So, when will it be back? And what can viewers expect?
Here’s everything we know so far.
When will Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win return?

It’s no surprise the show is back for the second series, given that series one earned ITV its highest Saturday night audience share in a year for its time slot.
The first episode – which saw couple Will and Kathryn, an intensive care doctor and midwife, walk away with a massive £500,000 – pulled in an average of 4.7 million viewers.
Ant and Dec’s Limitless win rules explained
Limitless Win sees contestants in teams answering everyday questions in order to bag cash prizes. The major difference with this show is that there is no limit to the cash prize, meaning contestants could walk aways with hundreds of thousands of pounds if they answer questions correctly.
The Limitless Win rules are pretty simple as all of the answers are numerical – so there can only be ONE answer.
If contestants get the answer spot on, they bank the cash. However, if they decide to continue up the ladder and answer another question incorrectly, they’ll lose their existing jackpot.
Contestants have a number of lives, and they don’t lose too many when answering incorrectly, they can try again, but if they’re too far out and have no more lives, it’s game over!
Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win prize
As the name states, the prize money for Limitless Win is “limitless”, meaning contestants can walk home with lots of cash if they can guess the correct answer or close enough.
