Simon Cowell's gameshow Red or Black? has been given a second series by ITV1, despite heavy criticism from critics and disappointing ratings for last year's high-profile launch.
Ant & Dec will return as the hosts of the new run, which will feature a number of format tweaks from the 2011 series.
The new series will feature a reduced prize fund of only £500,000, half of last year's £1 million prize, for the winning contestant.
However, if there is no winner, the prize will be rolled over until the following week's episode. This means there could be a potential prize fund of £3.5 million at the end of the series if there are no winners before that point. Also, Red or Black? will now air weekly rather than stripped across seven days.
The ending of the show will be the same as last year, with one contestant allowed the chance to go all or nothing for the prize fund.
Ant & Dec said about the show's return: "Red or Back? is an extravaganza of a show, it's the most nerve-wracking thing to work on but hugely exciting with so much at stake for the contestants. We're really excited to be going again with the new series."
The first series launched with big ratings, peaking at 8.1 million with the launch episode, but the show shed numbers quickly across the rest of the week.
As well as being savaged by TV critics, Red or Black? also faced controversy after it was revealed that the winner of the £1 million prize in the first show, Nathan Hageman, has served time for attacking an ex-girlfriend.
ITV's director of television Peter Fincham said: "We have developed Red or Black? and built on what we did with the first series. The scale of the challenges will still be huge but this time around, contestants will have more control over their own destinies as they are able to use their skill and judgement in an attempt to win big money prizes."
Simon Cowell added: "One of the things I love most about this show is that it's exciting, unpredictable, scary, and a bit nuts all in one. I'm delighted it's back and am excited about the possibility of rollover winnings and some even bigger games."
