LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC is bringing back its winter game show "Duel" next month.

The network has ordered 10 one-hour episodes to air Friday nights starting April 4.

"Duel" is a trivia show where contestants play head-to-head for a chance of winning up to $500,000. ESPN's Mike Greenberg will return as host.

Though the show performed modestly during its original six-episode airing, the series ran during the December holidays when audience levels are lower.

Also, ABC says there have been some format changes made this time to improve the show.

Friday nights are shaping up to be a broadcast game show battleground, with NBC's "Amnesia" and CBS's "Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular" vying for viewers in recent weeks.
