Netflix Plans Monopoly Game Show with Three Producers
Netflix is making a game show based on the classic board game Monopoly!

“We don’t have the answer and we had so many agents and so many production companies reaching out and asking us if they can participate, and asking if we’ll consider putting them in the bake-off that we didn’t want to be restrictive.”

“Even if they don’t get picked on this project, we might see something in their pitch that we really like, so we’ll keep them in mind the next time something comes along.”
