Initially, well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and Amelia Earhart were focused on in the kids’ episodes, but for this take, Stone says, they wanted to dig a bit deeper for tales the contestants can emulate as they play. And since this version is for adults, the educational portion of the competition has been tweaked.
Fans will recognize the taxing Moat Crossing, the Steps of Knowledge quiz and the athletic trials dubbed the Temple Games. The four rounds, alternating between physical tests and trivia, remain too. Notes Stone: “ got a bit of a face-lift.” The series’ familiar, colorful team names, like the Blue Barracudas and Silver Snakes remain, as does Olmec, the ancient stone head that speaks ( Dee Bradley Baker returns to voice), guiding contestants. “She’s rooting for the contestants like she was doing it herself,” Stone adds, while also teasing, “there is a place for Kirk Fogg in the series, so you’ll hear about that.
Each hourlong episode - extended from the original’s half-hour installments - requires players to use both their brains and brawn to win a cash prize, with host, comic Cristela Alonzo, cheering them on. “It seems to have touched so many people’s hearts in the best of ways,” he says.Īnd Stone promises the CW’s reboot contains music of the same onscreen magic. “There’s so much love in the core 25 to 40-year-old audience,” Stone says, adding that his film students at The University of Southern California used to regularly dress up as the show’s determined contestants for Halloween. So to say that adults are ready to reenter the Mayan-themed set they dreamed of racing through as children is a total understatement. Plus, 'Nancy Drew' moves to a new night, 'Riverdale,' an adult 'Legends of the Hidden Temple,' and more.
