**London, UK** – BAFTA and Emmy award-winning actor David Tennant will host ITV’s new reality competition series, *Genius Game*, a strategic battle of wits based on a South Korean format. The eight-episode series, launching April 30th on ITV (with a likely Wednesday and Thursday schedule), will pit intellectually gifted and socially savvy contestants against each other in a series of unique challenges designed to test manipulation and deception.

The show, produced by Remarkable Entertainment (Banijay UK), will see Tennant as “The Creator,” guiding players through increasingly complex games. Contestants will need both intellectual prowess and social intelligence to outwit their opponents and win a significant cash prize.

ITV’s Head of Entertainment, Katie Rawcliffe, described *Genius Game* as “an exciting reality format” that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. She praised Tennant as the “perfect ringmaster” for this battle of brainpower, teamwork, and deception. Tamara Gilder, joint MD of Remarkable, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the show’s smart and funny nature, a perfect fit for Tennant’s persona.

*Genius Game*, originally created by CJ ENM, is expected to be a compelling addition to ITV’s spring programming.
