M6 continues to bet on the nostalgia for viewers by resuscitating television games which had their hour of glory on the small screen in the past decades. After reviving “the right price“ Last March and “The weak link“ In October for an ephemeral version, the chain is preparing to broadcast a new version of “La Roue de la Fortune”, a cult game from the 1990s.
It will be broadcast on a daily basis from this Monday, January 27, at 5.30 p.m. As for “the right price“, M6 trusted one of his flagship animators, Éric Antoine.
The game remains unchanged
The return of this program, which had definitely disappeared from screens in 2012 on TF1, is part of a current trend to readjust television games that marked the small screen. At the beginning of January, the RMC channel was reviving The “Bigdil “, still with Vincent Lagaf.
In “The wheel of fortune” in M6 sauce, viewers will, of course, find the famous colorful wheel. The candidates will try their luck by finding the words and hidden expressions, will have to avoid the “bankruptcy” (which brings back the gains accumulated to zero) and the “heist” which allows a candidate to put the grapple on the kitty of An opponent. At the end of the fifth round, the one who has garnered the most money can try to win up to 20,000 euros or a trip by responding to an enigma.
“A woman to push letters, it was no longer relevant”
The main novelty lies in the mechanics of the game for the program finalist, which will now be qualified to participate in the scheduled part the next day. Mechanics used in other games such as “don’t forget the lyrics“to boost the audience and retain viewers by allowing them to attach to a candidate who can remain champion over a long period.

Another novelty: unlike his predecessors, Éric Antoine will host the game alone: no female presence to return the letters and assist it! “The return of a game is a subtle mixture between memories of viewers and a bit of novelty. We must also adapt with our time. We considered, with Éric, that having a woman to push letters, it was no longer relevant, “said Pierre Guillaume Ledan, deputy director general of programs at M6, W9 and 6TER.
M6 hopes to make the game last longer than in 2012, when TF1 revived it with Benjamin Castaldi and Valérie Bègue, Miss France 2008. The program had been deprogrammed after two months, for lack of audiences.
“The wheel of fortune”, from this Monday, January 27, at 5.30 pm, on M6.
