Childhood Game Gets High-Stakes Netflix Twist

Netflix is set to release a new reality competition series in 2027, titled "Simon Says." This show is a fresh adaptation of the classic playground game, promising a mischievous and high-stakes twist on the familiar rules.

The series will feature contestants facing a series of cunning challenges, strategic mind games, and unexpected pivots. The core rule remains: obeying "Simon" is essential for survival and progression toward a life-changing prize.

Directed by Emer Harkin, and executive produced by Julie Pizzi, Rupert Dobson, and Gayani Wanigaratne, "Simon Says" will explore the consequences of choices. Competitors must discern when to follow orders and when to risk elimination, as every decision carries weight.

Details regarding the specific contestants, whether they will be celebrities or civilian players, have not yet been disclosed by Netflix. Further information is expected as the 2027 release date approaches.
