Brian Cox Returns As ‘The Controller' In High-Stakes 007: Road To A Million Series 2; Trailer Out Now

Prime Video has dropped the trailer for 007: Road To A Million Series 2, with Brian Cox returning as the enigmatic 'Controller.' Prime Video has unveiled the adrenaline-pumping trailer for the second season of 007: Road To A Million, along with brand-new key art and an intriguing first look at Brian Cox, who reprises his role as the enigmatic 'Controller." The eight-part UK Original series will stream globally from August 22, 2025. This time, Cox's 'Controller" is back with a bigger presence — operating from an elaborate control room where he sets the challenges, evaluates performances, and delivers his trademark wry, deadpan commentary. Joining him is his formidable right-hand woman, Sofia, played by Frances McNamee, adding a fresh dynamic to the high-stakes proceedings. 'Returning as The Controller this time around, the series feels more high-octane, more immersive, and definitely more Bond," Cox said in a statement. 'The challenges are bigger, the drama runs deeper, and I've got the best seat in the house to watch it unfold." The second series promises an expanded narrative, offering viewers a tantalising glimpse into The Controller's global network and the shadowy organisation he represents. The stakes are higher than ever — with the final surviving pair returning to London to face The Controller himself for a life-changing £1 million prize. In true 007 style, eight pairs of everyday contestants will embark on a jaw-dropping globe-trotting adventure inspired by the Bond franchise. From scaling dizzying heights on Bangkok towers to nerve-shredding shark dives in the Bahamas, the challenges will push their physical endurance, mental grit, and even their relationships to breaking point. After each leg, the slowest teams will have to survive the nerve-wracking 'Killer Question" or face elimination. Ultimately, only one duo will make it to the final showdown in London — where The Controller awaits with the ultimate test. Drawing on the glamour, danger, and intrigue of James Bond, 007: Road To A Million Series 2 aims to surpass the thrills of its debut season, introducing bigger stunts, more intense drama, and a deeper dive into the game's shadowy backstory. The series launches exclusively on Prime Video worldwide on August 22, 2025. Fans can catch the newly released trailer online and prepare to be well and truly shaken — and stirred.
