EXCLUSIVE: The competition to produce a Netflix game show based on the emblematic monopoly game game is warming up.
The deadline includes that three companies – Studio Lambert, Wheelhouse and Endemol shine in North America – compete for the right to produce the show as part of a large -scale cooking.
The bake-off was the speech of the city not scripted earlier this summer with around fifty companies that had submitted creative ideas for adaptation with around 30 pre-approved by the streamer.
Studio Lambert is behind series such as Peacock TreatmentsFor which he recently won another Emmy, and the company belonging to All3Media is active with Netflix in series such as Cammar game: the challenge. He also produced The circle, dance 100 And Surviving paradise To stream it.
Wheelhouse has also worked with Netflix on a number of projects, in particular Secret of a million dollarsThe game show hosted by Peter Serafinowicz which was recently renewed for a second season, as well as Buy Beverly Hillswhich lasted two seasons and King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch.
Endemol Shine North America is behind series such as ABC Extreme makeover: home editionCBS The summit, Fox Masterchef And Lego masters And NBC Deal or no island. On the scripted front, he produced Riplewhich broadcast on Netflix. Endemol Shine North America, Sharon Levy, told Deadline earlier this year that the streamer was “the biggest target for ’25”.
Netflix has entered into an agreement for the rights to Monopoly Of Hasbro Entertainment earlier this year.
Gaspin told Deadline earlier this summer that he was convinced to buy the project without partly pitch due to the success of Monopoly Go!, The SCOPELY mobile board game which was released in 2023. This game would have had more than 150 million downloads and generated at least $ 5 billion in income.
“There is a gameplay in Monopoly Go! I think I really resonate with the gameplay in an unicenized series,” he said. “The idea itself is always to be won. How do we want to approach it? Is it a giant game board? Is it in the real world? We do not have the answer and we have had as many agents and so many production companies that have stretched our hands and asking if they can participate, and we ask if we plan to put them in the cooking that we do not want to be restrictive. ” ».
One of the objectives of large-scale cooking has been to open doors to companies that may not have worked before with Netflix or worked on such a publicized project.
“Even if they are not chosen from this project, we could see something in their arguments that we really like, so we will keep them in mind the next time something will happen. I think it is healthy for the community to give many people an opportunity,” Gaspin told Deadline in July.
The deadline understands that two companies that have not done the last three have, in fact, obtained separate developments with the streamer.
Netflix refused to comment.
