ITV Studios’ award-winning quiz show The Chase is expanding its reach in Central Eastern Europe, the distributor announced today.

The format has been commissioned by Nova TV Bulgaria, while Markiza in Slovakia will launch the show shortly, as CEETV reported earlier.

The Chase recently launched successfully in Czech Republic and TV Nova have extended the commission more than double in length - from 90 episodes to 215 episodes. In Serbia, the 10th series has been ordered by RTS1.

CEETV reminds that the show also airs daily on HTV1 in Croatia and is about to premiere in Greece on Mega Channel.

Also in other parts of the world, The Chase is doing incredibly well. The show was nominated for the prestigious BAFTA Award in the UK, and won a TV Academy Award in Israel. Israel will start with its 6th season shortly. In the U.S.A, a second series has been ordered following a very successful first season on ABC.
