Netflix was developing a competition reality series based on Clue, the famous murder mystery board game. Now it turns out that this isn’t the only thing in the works around this title. Sony Pictures Television and Hasbro Entertainment are also developing a scripted TV show to be based on the game as well.
Dana Fox (Wicked) and Nicholas Stoller (You’re Cordially Invited) are behind the project as writers and executive producers. If it is picked up, they will be showrunners. They have been out marketing the project, talking to potential buyers.
According to a report in Deadline, the series will follow the well-understood path of a group of strangers who are invited to an eccentric billionaire’s murder mystery night. When there, they realise that the stakes involve actual life and death.
Cluedo was the original game, devised in 1943 by British board game designer Anthony E. Pratt. The game was first manufactured by Waddingtons in the United Kingdom in 1949. When it was licences to the US, the name was changed to Clue for that market only. It is still Cluedo in the rest of the world.
Other executive producers are Gabriel Marano, Margy Love, and Conor Welch. The tone of Clue is expected to be comedic, much like the 1985 adaptation.
Hasbro has a whole slew of projects in development around its properties, including another at Netflix – a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series. They have also been working with Legendary on Magic: The Gathering.
