The Wall is a prime-time game show where everyday people have the chance to change their lives forever. Premiering on NBC on December 16, 2016, the series has produced six seasons to date. Created by Glassman Media and LeBron James’ SpringHill Entertainment, each episode follows a pair of deserving contestants as they face a mix of trivia questions and a towering 40-foot wall for a shot at winning up to $12 million in a single game.

​

The show is celebrated for its emotional storytelling and focus on contestants who have spent their lives helping others—teachers, first responders, community leaders, and everyday heroes—finally getting the chance to win something for themselves or their communities. Memorable episodes have featured contestants who raised money for at-risk youth, survivors of national tragedies who dedicate their lives to giving back, and those who have saved lives through their bravery and compassion.

​

As of Season 5, over $29 million has been awarded to contestants—good samaritans who continue to use their life-changing winnings for good. Since 2017, The Wall has also expanded internationally, with over 1500 hours of television produced in more than 35 territories around the world. 

​

The Wall has been awarded International Format Best Studio Based Gameshow Format by C21Media as well as Best Competition Game or Quiz Show by the Real Screen Awards.

The series has featured several special episodes, including a Tokyo 2020 Olympics special supporting the Team USA Fund on February 22, 2021 and a Red Nose Day special on May 27, 2021
