Netflix,
From 17th December
Neil Patrick Harris invites eight teams to figure out what prizes are in 12 giant boxes by way of quiz, the team with the most prizes at the end of the arced series wins what’s in the SUPER BOX worth over $250k – I know what this is but I will leave it as a surprise. Opening the box doesn’t necessarily mean you will keep the prize as there are ways and means to steal prizes and eliminate other teams across the series.
It’s Netflix trying another high stakes shiny floor quiz, an entertainment form they’ve tried to crack before and not really succeeded at. Will this break their duck? There’s not much hype about it. Also we know someone who went and saw some episodes being filmed and they weren’t very impressed, but perhaps it will edit extremely well and become a Christmas hit. UK production company Rollercoaster are behind it, the hitmakers behind You Bet On Tour and I’ve got an “I thought rollercoasters were meant to go up as well as down” gag lined up to go viral on Twitter if this doesn’t work, so everything to play for.
