However, arriving on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming\/amazon-prime-video\/\">Prime Video<\/a> this November is something entirely new.<\/p>\n<p>The first James Bond inspired reality TV show, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/007-road-to-a-million-release-date\/\">007: Road to a Million<\/a>, will debut on Prime Video on Friday 10th November, starring Brian Cox as The Controller, who will be setting contestants both physical and mental super-spy style challenges, as they hope to win \u00a31 million.<\/p>\n<p>Some might think that, should the show be successful, the team behind the Bond film franchise will look to double down on new reality shows and other spin-offs. However, Bond producer Gregg Wilson has suggested this will not be the case.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Speaking at the launch of the new series, Wilson said: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to usher in a new era of Bond spin-offs, but I think if audiences like this as much as we think they will, we\u2019re excited to get cracking on season 2.\u201d<\/p> <p>So there we have it \u2013 don\u2019t expect the Bond cinematic universe any time soon, but perhaps do expect a second season of the new reality format.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"007: ROAD TO A MILLION | Official Trailer\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a9mYj1etf70?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Wilson recently explained why the show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/007-road-to-million-james-bond-easter-eggs-newsupdate\/\">doesn\u2019t feature any characters<\/a> from the Bond films or novels, saying that breaking the fourth wall is such a way would feel \u201cstrange\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cOur contestants are real people, and if they interacted with people from a fictional world, it would feel strange. So it all takes place in the real world, but there\u2019s this Bond villain puppet master who is dangling prize money in front of these contestants in very outlandish ways. Brian [Cox] has really elevated it to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"headline post-header__title post-header__title--headline-layout\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/brian-cox-james-bond-newsupdate\/\">Brian Cox: \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t muck around with James Bond\u201d<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/007-road-to-a-million-new-trailer-newsupdate\/\">007: Road to a Million series gets thrilling new trailer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cox also joked of his own involvement that he thought he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/brian-cox-007-reality-series-bond-villain-newsupdate\/\">going to be appearing in a film<\/a>, saying: \u201cI did it under false pretences, well not false pretences, but I thought it was a Bond movie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought \u2018Finally, finally I\u2019m going to play a Bond villain!\u2019 I\u2019ve been trying to play a Bond villain for years.\u201d<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6340300872112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>007: Road to a Million will air on Prime Video on 10th November 2023 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/video\/offers\/?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\" data-geniuslink=\"https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=114542&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fgp%2Fvideo%2Foffers%2F%3Ftag%3Dradtim0b-21%26ascsubtag%3Dradiotimes-1912957&amp;dtb=1\">you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something else to watch in the meantime?
