Lynch will host a revival of the game show that Anne Robinson originally hosted on NBC from 2001 to 2002, based on the British format that she also hosted. NBC, which has given a 13-episode order, says the new version “will deliver the fast-paced and quick-witted pillars of the original British format created by the BBC with a few modern twists. The hybrid game show sees contestants answer general knowledge questions to bank prize money across multiple rounds. At the end of each round, the contestants vote out who they perceive to be the Weakest Link remaining.”
