Amazon has ordered two new nonscripted series; it has ordered a U.S. version of British format "Buy It Now", hosted by "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star JB Smoove, and Nick Cannon is hosting holiday event "Wish List Games".

"Buy It Now" comes from "The Traitors" producer Studio Lambert and is based on a Channel 4 daytime format that seasoned and budding entrepreneurs try to win a place in the Buy It Now store featured on both Amazon.com and within the Prime app.

The entrepreneurs must convince a live studio audience of 100 everyday customers as well as a panel of experts to fall in love with their products.




"Wish List Games" is a multi-episode holiday event, is produced by MGM Alternative. Nick Cannon hosts with influencer Lele Pons also involved.

The half-hour gameshow will sees contestants play for the chance to win everything on their Amazon Wish List, totaling up to $25,000. Every episode, contestants are pulled from the audience to play a rotating series of games.

It all builds to the final round, where one contestant plays to win a prize for everyone in the audience.
