This James Bond Day, Prime Video pays homage to the legacy of 007 with its innovative reality show, 007: Road to a Million. Hosted by the charismatic Brian Cox, known for his role in “Succession,” this series is a riveting blend of adventure, suspense, and adrenaline-pumping challenges.
The Premise
007: Road to a Million is not just another reality show; it’s a global quest that immerses contestants in the iconic world of Bond.

Brian Cox takes on the role of The Controller, a mysterious figure who holds the key to the £1,000,000 prize. He’s not just an observer; he’s the puppeteer who revels in setting challenges and watching contestants navigate them. With 10 questions hidden across the globe, each pair must decipher clues, conquer obstacles, and answer these questions to progress. A single misstep could spell the end of their journey.
