According to Entertainment Weekly, when the soap ends its 54-year run in September, the network will fill the timeslot with the new show as it is cheaper to produce than its predecessor.
The network confirmed that it plans to shoot a new pilot for Pyramid, which was originally considered as a replacement for Guiding Light until the network decided to go with a remake of Let’s Make a Deal. The project from Sony will be executive produced by Michael Davies (Who Wants to Be A Millionaire).
Past rumours had the vacant slot being taken over by a chatshow, hosted by Valerie Bertinelli, but a gameshow is said to be a safer bet for ratings.
Pyramid's most recent host was Donny Osmond.
