CBS has ordered a new adaptation of the word-based game show Lingo, with RuPaul Charles as host and executive producer.
The prime-time game show features teams of two as they face off in fast-paced puzzle rounds to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words. At the end of each one-hour episode, the winning two teams will make it through to a final showdown where one team will walk away with an additional cash prize.
Lingo is an All3Media/IDTV and Talpa TV format, distributed by All3Media International.
RuPaul Andre Charles serves as executive producer for RuCo, Inc. along with Layla Smith for Objective Media Group (an All3Media company), Jilly Pearce for Objective Media Group America and Ed de Burgh for Triple Brew Media.
