Netflix Is Turning Board Game ‘Clue’ Into a Reality Competition Show-March 2024

Finally, Netflix will answer the question: Was it Colonel Mustard with a pipe in the library?

The streaming giant has picked up a series adaptation of the Hasbro board game Clue, reimagined as a competition show.

Details remain scarce, but Netflix says that players will have to undergo physical and mental challenges in order to receive clues, with characters like the aforementioned Mustard, Professor Plum and others all represented. There will also be red herrings to throw players off the case. Clue has been adapted for the screen before, most notably the 1985 dark comedy starring Tim Curry, though there was also a short-lived TV miniseries in 2011.

The new competition show is being produced by Hasbro Entertainment, joined by Sony Pictures Televisions The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC) and B17 Entertainment. Sony acquired the rights to adapt Clue last year.

Competition shows have become a hot genre at Netflix, including IP-based fare like Squid Game: The Challenge and the Willy Wonka-inspired Golden Ticket, as well as originals like the Love Is Blind franchise.

Like so many families and friends over the years, weve gathered around the table trying to figure out who did it making Clue a source of nostalgia that everyone shares, said Jeff Gaspin, vp of unscripted series for Netflix. Thanks to the incredible vision of our partners at Hasbro Entertainment, IPC, and B17, were delivering a fresh, imaginative whodunit competition that will invite todays audiences into that iconic world.
