In the UK and Australia "The Chase" is a Monday-through-Friday show with prime time celebrity editions and recently a prime time "Beat the Chasers" mini-series (where the contestant can go up against the whole gang at once). There are six chasers on both versions (the UK version has added a seventh chaser due to one of them needing surgery). Two chasers are on both versions (Mark "The Beast" Labbett and Anne "The Governess/Frosty Knickers" Hegerty). They haven't been doing the Australian version this past season due to COVID restrictions. The first American version on Game Show Network had just Labbett and I believe was originally just once a week, so it's possible, but ABC wanted the GOATs all together.
