BBC Studios Digital Brands has commissioned The Quiz Vault, a new show hosted by creator and comedian Max Fosh, for its forthcoming Quiz and Trivia YouTube channel.
Produced by Strong Watch Studios, the series will launch in early 2027, combining celebrity interviews with a succession of quiz rounds. Each round will feature a different game, drawing on established TV quiz mechanics alongside original ideas.
The commission forms part of a wider plan to use BBC Studios’ quiz catalogue to develop new programming for digital audiences. The Quiz and Trivia channel will feature archive material from brands including The Weakest Link, A Question of Sport, Impossible, This is My House and Answer Run, alongside curated collections, play-along clips and original shows.
Developed by BBC Studios’ Digital Brands and Global Content teams with Strong Watch Studios, The Quiz Vault will also test new games with YouTube audiences, with the aim of developing the most successful into standalone formats.
Karl Warner, EVP, global creator partnerships & creative development, BBC Studios Global Content, said: “Quiz Vault shows what’s possible when iconic BBC Studios IP meets outstanding creative talent. It’s celebrating our quiz heritage while testing ideas with the potential to become the next great format, and it’s been fantastic to bring it to life with Max, Strong Watch Studios and our Digital Brands team.”
Fosh, who launched his YouTube channel in 2017, is known for comedy stunts and social experiments. According to BBC Studios, he has more than seven million followers across social media, with his videos generating more than three billion views.
The commission extends BBC Studios’ partnerships with online creators, following collaborations including DanTDM’s participation in Bluey Book Reads and travel series Scran & Scramble: An American in Scotland, featuring Kobie Jordan and Bryan Millar Walker. It also follows a flurry of recent show and channel launches by BBC Studios Digital Brands.
Jasmine Dawson, SVP, digital, BBC Studios Digital Brands, said: “Our ambition is to build the next generation of entertainment brands, and collaborating with creators like Max is a big part of that. He brings a brilliant combination of wit, curiosity and mischief, alongside a real understanding of what keeps his audiences coming back. Working with Max and Strong Watch Studios on The Quiz Vault, we’re bringing that energy together with BBC Studios’ quiz expertise to create something fresh for fans.”
The Quiz Vault was commissioned by Chris Ambrose. Guest names and further launch details have yet to be announced.
