Netflix Secures Exclusive Global Rights to 'Ticket to Ride' for Feature in Development

The streamer deepens its board-game strategy via a rights pact covering scripted plus unscripted formats.

Overview

  • Netflix locked a deal with Asmodee for exclusive worldwide rights to Ticket to Ride and is developing a movie based on the hit board game.
  • Ben Mekler and Chris Amick are writing the feature, with producers Darren Kyman, Eric and Kim Tannenbaum, Jonathan Levine, and Gillian Bohrer attached, and creator Alan R. Moon serving as executive producer.
  • The agreement enables projects beyond a single film, including potential television efforts in both scripted and reality competition spaces.
  • The adaptation is in early development with no cast, production schedule, or release details announced; if completed first, it would be the game’s inaugural screen version.
  • The move builds on Netflix’s broader push into board-game IP that includes Monopoly, Clue, and Settlers of Catan, a bet on a format with few proven mainstream successes.
