Netflix is rolling the dice on an expanded version of the classic board game Monopoly.
The streamer has given the green light to a competing series, also called Monopolyis scheduled to premiere in 2027. The show will take place on an expanded version of the game board and will feature 12 players competing for a $2 million prize. Studio Lambert (The Traitors, Squid Game: The Challenge) is producing the series in association with Hasbro Entertainment.
Here’s how Netflix is described Monopoly: “In a life-sized Monopoly Town Square, 12 players will enter on equal terms. But the equality will not last long. To survive, the contestants must Collect it all, or lose it all. Every negotiation, every decision, and every twist can mean the difference between building an empire and going straight to prison. One by one, the bankrupt players are eliminated — until one winner is left standing to take it all.
Monopoly has been around for over 90 years (it’s inspired by games dating back to the early 1900s) and has always been very popular. Monopoly Go!, a mobile version of the game, has had tens of millions of downloads since its launch in 2023. The board game was also the basis for two relatively short-lived television game shows, in 1990 and 2015.
Monopoly It is executive produced by Gabriel Marano and Zachary Edwin of Hasbro Entertainment and Studio Lambert’s Nia Yemoh, Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Stephen Lambert and Kim Murphy. Netflix has put out a call for potential players.
