Netflix Orders Monopoly Reality Series Where Contestants Compete for $2 Million on a Life-Sized Board

Netflix has officially greenlit a reality competition series based on the classic board game Monopoly, produced by Studio Lambert, the team behind The Traitors, in partnership with Hasbro Entertainment. The project won a competitive bake-off against roughly 50 production companies, according to Deadline, signaling strong industry interest in bringing the property to life.

The series will feature 12 contestants playing on a life-sized Monopoly Town Square. According to the official logline reported by forums.toynewsi.com: "players enter the game on equal footing, but that balance quickly disappears as they negotiate, strategize and roll their way through the competition. Each decision could determine their fate." Forums.toynewsi.com added that players earn money, buy properties, and negotiate deals while bankrupt players are eliminated until one remains.
