I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to post in the main thread on this sub forum, if this creation isn’t necessary, I apologize.
Now, I haven’t seen any Millionaire renewal officially, but I can’t help but get my hopes up for a 25th Anniversary next year.
Millionaire alum Matt Marcotte (who’s very active on Twitter) tweeted this last July.
Here’s also an interesting Twitter thread to check out:
So, what do we think? Do we have a 25th Anniversary in the works? Could it be brought back due to the current writers’ strike?
I don’t see why not, why not ABC actually give it a chance without overexposing it.
And if Michael Davies dismissed Millionaire’s cancellation on Twitter a year ago, could the stars align?
Or am I just a diehard clinging to any hope possible the show will be brought back and I could fulfill a dream of mine of sitting in the hot seat?

Unless Disney wants to surrender the rights to Sony, some sort of new content is heading our way in the next few years.
The writers’ strike increases the odds that it’s sooner rather than later, but it’s not a guarantee. And I think the 25th anniversary isn’t something that ABC feels obligated to recognize. Time will tell.
I’ve been spoiled by the classic episodes on GSN. I’m absolutely not turning up my nose at new episodes, but the best era of Millionaire airs every weekday and we shouldn’t take that for granted.

And don't forget that there always will be a huge audience which is will be sitting and waiting for the return of the show. I guess that if the return won't happen a lot of citizens will also start striking as well as the writers doing it right now. So, if we can believe the tweet and Disney won't mess this up, we can expect for a new series of Millionaire (or even more, I hope). I wonder how a host, who had never presented the show, would ty to keep the intensity of the show with the new crew altogether. To sum up, it can be a huge hit, so let's hope that nothing will destroy the whole idea.

Let's not forget that a while back, someone made a comment about Millionaire being done in the US and Michael Davies himself replied and said something like "if only you know how funny this is." It implied to me something is in the works for the future. We shall see soon enough. If there's going to be a 25th anniversary special, they'll put info out in the next few months to get contestants, audience, etc. We shall see.

I believe Davies was referring to Disney’s need to exercise their rights to the program more so than any definite plans. That still implies that something would need to happen in the near future, it’s just hard to say when.

Well, there wasn’t a 15th Anniversary in 2014.
I don’t know. I do know there are reasons to bring it back for 2024.
