The CW has ordered U.S. versions of British comedy panel series Would I Lie to You? and Britain’s satirical whodunnit reality competition show Killer Camp. To introduce U.S. viewers to Would I Lie to You?, The CW acquired two existing seasons. 

Premiere dates will be announced later. 

Rob Brydon hosts Would I Lie to You?, which The CW said “elevates the art of lying.” Lee Mack and David Mitchell are team captains joined by celebrity guests who weave elaborate tales that may or may not be true.
