Paul Farrer Scores New "Millionaire" spin-off series

Acclaimed composer brings his unique sound to brand new show

Paul Farrer has composed the original score for ITV’s brand-new quiz show Millionaire Hot Seat, arriving on screens in 2026.

Well known for his dynamic, high-energy music on some of the UK’s biggest entertainment formats including The Chase, The Weakest Link and The Wheel, Paul has crafted a brand new music package for the series - blending tension, pace and cinematic flair to elevate the show’s fast-fire structure.

Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Millionaire Hot Seat is ITV’s fresh take on the iconic Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? format, with contestants battling the clock - and each other - for the chance to win £1m. 

The 18x30 minute series is a Stellify Media production for ITV. The producer is Kirsty Proffitt. The show is filmed at MediaCityUK in Salford and airs in January 2026. 

Paul’s other upcoming commissions include the next series of Michael McIntyre's Big Show (BBC) and Nobody's Fool (ITV), also both airing in 2026.
