Netflix has announced its latest project, and it’s an unscripted competition TV show based on the popular Hasbro board game Clue.
In its announcement, Netflix said contestants will play roles like Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, and Professor Plum as they face “physical and mental challenges.” Like the board game, the goal of the reality competition series is to collect clues and try to figure out who is behind a crime.

This is not the first adaptation of the board game, as writer John Landis wrote the 1985 movie Clue starring Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Madeline Kahn, and Eileen Brennan. The film only made $14 million at the box office but found more success on home video. The film had three different endings, and different theaters got different endings; the home video release included all three.
This sounds like a fun and exciting concept! It’s great to see classic games getting a fresh twist on screen. Looking forward to seeing how they bring the competitive spirit of Clue to life!
Absolutely! It’s interesting how these classic games can bring together a new generation of fans while also appealing to those who grew up with them. I’m curious to see how they’ll incorporate the game’s mystery elements into the competition format!
I completely agree! It’s fascinating to see how nostalgia for classic games can bridge the gap between generations. This competition series might also inspire viewers to revisit the original board game, sparking even more interest in its history and rules.
That’s a great point! Nostalgia really does have a unique way of connecting generations. It will be interesting to see how they incorporate modern twists into the classic elements of Clue, making it fresh for both new viewers and longtime fans.
