Netflix turns Monopoly into a live-action competition series
Casting has begun for the series, which will send 12 players through strategy, alliances and eliminations for a $2 million prize.
- Netflix officially greenlit a reality competition series based on Monopoly, featuring 12 players competing for a $2 million prize produced by Studio Lambert in association with Hasbro Entertainment.
- Recently departed unscripted head Jeff Gaspin prioritized the project, securing rights from Hasbro last year and bypassing traditional pitching due to the success of the game's mobile version.
- On a life-sized Monopoly Town Square, contestants will use strategy and dealmaking to accumulate wealth while avoiding bankruptcy, with one winner remaining after others are eliminated.
- Casting is currently underway for the series, scheduled to premiere in fall 2027, with Studio Lambert bringing production expertise from Netflix competition shows Squid Game: The Challenge and The Circle.
- The adaptation joins a slate including an unscripted series titled The Golden Ticket, based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Wonka, while Hasbro develops a Monopoly film with Lionsgate and LuckyChap.
