Back in September came the news that around fifty companies were vying for the right to produce a Netflix game show based on the iconic board game “Monopoly”.
The push for this was inspired by the success of “Monopoly Go!”, which launched in 2023 and led to a desire to get an unscripted series on the air.
We now have a winner with Deadline reporting that Studio Lambert, the company behind Peacock’s game show hit “The Traitors” and Netflix’s “Squid Game: The Challenge” and “The Circle,” has acquired the rights to the show after producing a winning pitch that Netflix praised for its originality.
Netflix VP of unscripted series Jeff Gaspin tells the trade that Studio Lambert took inspiration from certain gameplay within “Monopoly Go!” in a way that “will resonate with gameplay in an unscripted series”. Lambert is also working on a reality version of “Fallout” at Amazon.
This “Monopoly” is separate from the planned film adaptation in the works at Lionsgate where “Game Night” and “Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves” writer/directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are writing a film with Margot Robbie producing.
