The first James Bond-inspired TV series has released a teaser trailer: Prime Video‘s 007: Road to a Million brings the superspy branding to the small screen with a reality competition series hosted by Succession star Brian Cox.
The show “follows nine pairs of everyday people as they are unleashed on an epic global adventure through a series of Bond-inspired challenges for a shot at each winning a life-changing £1,000,000 ($1.2 million) prize,” and promises that the challenges will “push their physical strength and mental reserves to the limit.”

Cox plays “The Controller,” the “mastermind behind the game, who dictates where the pairs go, what they must do, and sets their questions. He monitors each pair’s quest, delighting in the unfolding drama of his intricately devised and often relentless challenges.”
The teaser trailer shows off some of the global locations in the series, such as the Scottish Highlands, Chile’s Atacama Desert, the streets of Venice and the Swiss Alps.
The series is produced by the team behind the Bond film franchise, including Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
In 2021, Amazon acquired Bond rights holder MGM for $8.45 billion, and questions have circled about how Amazon might handle the iconic franchise. The release comes as producers are seeking a new actor to replace Daniel Craig for the next Bond film and beyond.
All eight episodes of 007: Road to a Million will drop on Prime Video globally on Nov. 10.
