Marcus/Glass Productions, the producer-distributor set up by Marcus Lemonis and Nancy Glass, is expanding its partnership with London-based international sales outfit Can’t Stop Media to distribute the reboot of 1970s gameshow Split Second worldwide.

The rebooted version of the show, hosted by John Michael Higgins (Arrested Development, Best in Show), will launch on Monday April 17 on Game Show Network in the US.

The original version of Split Second ran on ABC in the US from 1972 to 1975, with more than 1,000 episodes airing during that time. The show was later re-versioned and syndicated across Canada from 1986 to 1987, and was also adapted in Australia by Nine Network in 1972 and STV in the UK in 1987.

The reboot is produced by Game Show Enterprises Studios with Marcus/Glass Productions. Michael Binkow is exec producer for Game Show Enterprises Studios, while Lemonis and Glass are exec producers for Marcus/Glass Productions. Higgins is also an exec producer.

Can’t Stop Media also distributes Marcus/Glass-owned format Let’s Make a Deal, which has been sold into 11 territories to date.
