Netflix Greenlights Clue Unscripted Competition Series

Producers include Hasbro Entertainment alongside IPC/B17 under Sony’s rights deal for the franchise.

Overview

  • The series adapts the classic board game into a whodunit competition where contestants take on physical and mental challenges to collect clues.
  • Players then try to identify the who, where, and with what of the crime, with correct guesses adding to a prize pot and wrong calls risking elimination.
  • Familiar suspects from the Clue canon, including Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum and Mrs. White, will feature in the show’s setting.
  • Executive producers are Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Rhett Bachner and Brien Meagher, alongside Hasbro Entertainment’s Gabriel Marano and Zachary Edwin.
  • No premiere date was disclosed, and the project follows Sony securing screen rights as Clue’s board game sales have topped more than 150 million since 1949.
