Succession's Brian Cox returns as The Controller, the overseer, but only one duo will succeed in making it back to London to confront him for the ultimate reward of £1 million, reports the Express.

Prime Video revealed: "Packed with action, humour and the joy of seeing ordinary people experience one of the most famous movie franchises in the world first hand, 007: Road To A Million series two will leave you shaken AND stirred."

007: Road To A Million series 2 will broadcast on Prime Video on August 22.

The programme will witness the participants confronting live scorpions in Thailand, climbing Bangkok's Sinn Sathorn Tower, enduring vertigo-inducing Alpine cable cars, shooting firearms in a historic Hacienda in Mexico and plunging through shark-infested waters in The Bahamas.

Participants include a father and son pair, Dylan, 22 and Dan, 46, and siblings Cat, 26 and Maiya, 23.

Best mates Ricky and Noddy, both 41, are ready for the challenge as well as married pair Shabina, 50 and Sid, 52. Siblings Asaad, 32, and Jamilah, 34, are vying for the prize money alongside married couple Rob, 57, and Alex, 48.

Also in the running are husband and wife team Steven, 53 and Shelley, 51, as well as best mates Sam and Luke, both 34.

The inaugural series of 007: Road To A Million was met with high praise, with one viewer, A Tomarin, sharing on Google Reviews: "First and foremost, the premise is superb.

"Who hasn't wanted to immerse themselves in the world of Bond, and visit the locations that have taken place in the stories. Second the production has allowed for the immersion of these people to seem as cinematic and seamlessly engaged in the world of Bond.

"To me as a filmmaker and actor, this is spine-chillingly fun and put the hairs up on the back of my neck with joy."

The second series of 007: Road To A Million will premiere on Prime Video on 22 August.
