PROGRAMMING

The CW ordered U.S. version of British series “Would I Lie to You?” and “Killer Camp,” and also acquired the two seasons of the British version of the former. “Would I Lie to You?” is a comedy panel series that “elevates the art of lying” by having teams watch body language and ask questions to determine the truth of elaborate tales. The British version is hosted by Rob Brydon, created by Peter Holmes and features Lee Mack and David Mitchell as lightning-quick team captains, who are joined by celebrity guests. Rachel Ablett and Ruth Phillips also executive produce and Zeppotron produces. “Killer Camp,” which the CW first aired in its original form last summer, will consist of a mix of 13 American and British campers competing to expose which one among them is a “killer,” all with $50,000 on the line. Camp handyman Bruce will return with Bobby Mair as the counselor. The show is executive produced by Karen Smith, Steph Harris and Ben Wilson, produced by Tuesday’s Child Television and distributed by Keshet International.
