Netflix has announced a reality competition show based on the board game Monopoly, with a $2 million prize for the winner. The show, produced by Studio Lambert of 'Squid Game: The Challenge' fame, will feature 12 players in a life-sized city setting. Players who go bankrupt are eliminated, and the last one standing wins. The series is set to stream in fall 2027, and applications are now open for US residents.
The show's design mirrors the classic board game: players roll dice, buy and sell real estate, and negotiate deals, all while avoiding bankruptcy and jail. The life-sized Monopoly town square will be the setting. The winner takes home $2 million, a prize that, as the announcement notes, does not include a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card. The competition is produced by Studio Lambert, the company behind Netflix's 'Squid Game: The Challenge' and 'The Circle'. Executive producers include Gabriel Marano and Zachary Edwin from Hasbro Entertainment. Applicants must be US residents 21 or older, have a valid passport, and be available for up to three weeks of filming. They must submit a one-minute self-introduction video and at least two photos.
