Netflix Orders ‘Clue’ Competition Series Based on Hasbro’s Murder-Mystery Game

The order taps the franchise’s nostalgia, reflecting Netflix’s push into familiar IP for unscripted tentpoles.

Overview

  • Netflix greenlit an unscripted Clue series where contestants tackle physical and mental challenges to gather clues, then deduce who, where, and with what to grow a prize pot or face elimination.
  • Hasbro Entertainment produces with Sony-owned IPC and B17; executive producers include Gabriel Marano, Zachary Edwin, Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Rhett Bachner, and Brien Meagher.
  • The show will feature iconic suspects such as Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, and Mrs. White within an immersive setting.
  • Netflix has not announced a host, cast, episode details, or a premiere date.
  • The greenlight follows Sony securing screen rights to Clue in 2024 and arrives as Netflix readies other game-based series including Monopoly; separately, Sony and Hasbro are shopping a scripted Clue project.
