tbd Legends of the Hidden Temple (2021): Season 1

Game show debuts October 10 on The CW

A unique blend of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jeopardy!, and The Legend of Zelda, the kid-friendly adventure game show Legends of the Hidden Temple aired on Nickelodeon from 1993-1995. This reboot series (originally intended for the shuttered Quibi streaming service) is aimed at the same people who watched the original series and thus features adult contestants, not children. A bigger budget means a move out of a soundstage and into an outdoor jungle environment. Cristela Alonzo hosts, while Dee Bradley Baker returns as the voice of Olmec.
