Reception
The show garnered a strong viewership, attracting over 12.5 million viewers and more than 4 million streams on ITVX. Despite its popularity, ITV decided to cancel 99 To Beat after just one season. Hosts Adam and Ryan Thomas expressed their disappointment and confusion over the decision, with Adam stating, "I don't know what I'm doing wrong," referencing a similar fate that befell his previous presenting role on I'm a Celebrity spin-off: Extra Camp.
