ABC has renewed its summer game shows The $100,000 Pyramid for its fifth season and Press Your Luck for its second season.

The shows are part of ABC’s Summer Fun & Games lineup, which helped propel the network to the No. 1 network of the summer among Adults 18-49 (1.0/5 – tie with NBC), marking the first time the Net ranked No. 1 during the summer in 24 years. In addition, ABC finished as the summer’s No. 1 network with Adults 18-34 and among key female demos (W18-34/W18-49).

“Summer has become synonymous with ABC’s ‘Fun & Games’ brand,” said Rob Mills, senior vice president, Alternative Series, Specials and Late Night, ABC Entertainment. “To have these shows return is a testament to their strength, and the excitement and fun they bring each week. These are legit star-studded shows that celebrate everything we love about the spirit of competition. Thanks to them and ‘The Bachelorette,’ we dominated summer and are doubling down on next year.

Hosted by Michael Strahan The $100,000 Pyramid is produced by SMAC Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television. Hosted by Elizabeth Banks, Press Your Luck is produced by Fremantle.
