“This show has it all, mixing skill, luck and lots of surprises and I hope the Australian audience loves it."
Grant Denyer wrote on Instagram: "We back baby! 🤩 Incredibly excited to be bringing the global mega-format ‘Deal or No Deal’ back to Aussie screens in 2024. It’s an absolute gem of a show and one of TV’s most successful formats ever, adored in 325 countries. He continued: "In this time of high cost of living, I can’t wait to be a hyperactive ‘human ATM’ handing out big cash and sending Australians off into the sunset with their pockets bulging and their lives changed. It’s a magical feeling and a real privilege. I’m so damn excited."
