Calling all human lie detectors: internationally acclaimed comedy series Would I Lie To You? is making its way to 10 in 2022… or is it? Yes, it is!
Announced at 10‘s Upfront on Wednesday, from the far-fetched to the perfectly plausible, two teams try and hoodwink each other with hilarious tall and twisted tales – and it’s up to viewers to separate the truth from the fiction.

Based on the popular UK format that airs on the BBC, each week a stellar line-up of celebrity and comedic guests will reveal amazing and bizarre stories about themselves. Some stories, believe it or not, are true. Other stories, amazingly, are made up. The aim of the game is to fool the opposing team into mistaking fact for fiction and fiction for fact.
Daniel Monaghan, senior vice president, content and programming, ViacomCBS, said: “I’m not going to lie to you – viewers on Network 10 are going to absolutely fall in love with Would I Lie To You? – and that’s the honest truth!”

Endemol Shine Australia CEO, Peter Newman, said: “We are absolutely delighted to bring one of the world’s greatest comedy panel shows to Australian audiences. Would I Lie To You? is a wonderfully simple and hilarious game where lying is not only required, but elevated into a side-splittingly funny competition.
“We can’t wait to get Australian families playing along – picking the facts from the fibs – and laughing out loud at the impossibly absurd stories of our captains and guests.”
Revealing embarrassing, bizarre, and truly outrageous stories, Would I Lie To You? is set to be a laugh-out-loud addition to 10 in 2022.
Would I Lie To You? is an Endemol Shine Australia production for Network 10.
