You know what's more fun than watching a quiz show? Watching a series about a scandal where a couple tried to cheat on one of the most popular television quiz shows of all-time. AMC has a story just like that coming your way next month.

Quiz is a new three-part miniseries that tells the story of how Major Charles Ingram (Matthew Macfadyen) used his wife Diana (Sian Clifford of Fleabag) and an accomplice, Tecwen Whittock (Michael Jibson of Hamilton), to cheat his way to the top prize on the United Kingdom version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? during its heyday in 2001. The first Quiz teaser has just been released, giving us a better look at the series.

This is a wild true story that you might have seen make headlines nearly two decades ago. However, the United States may not have heard as much about it since the episodes were recorded on September 9 and 10 of 2001, just before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Plus, due to allegations of cheating, the episodes never aired. Seeing how all this played out should make for a fascinating watch.
