The Bridge will see 12 strangers team up at a lake in the British countryside to face an epic challenge which could win them £100k. The official synopsis reads: "The prize pot lies out of reach on an island 250 metres away from where the contributors are based. To reach it, they must work together to build a bridge in 20 days.

"If the group successfully work as a team and reach the cash before the deadline, overcoming a series of surprise twists in the process, each of them will get a vote for who they think is the most deserving of the life-changing prize. The winner is then left with the trickiest decision of all – will they keep all the money or share it?" Sounds intriguing, right?

Creative Director for Workerbee, Michelle Chappell, added: “Making The Bridge during a global pandemic has been an incredible achievement, but nowhere near as mind-boggling as building a bridge to win £100k! We’re looking forward to bringing Channel 4 viewers a treat for the senses in this distinctive new series."
