Clue Heads to TV With Netflix Reality Series as Sony Shops Scripted Adaptation

The moves signal a broader push to extend Hasbro's game IP into streaming.

Overview

  • Netflix has greenlit an unscripted Clue competition that stages a real-life deduction game using the classic who, where, and with what format, with no premiere date announced.
  • Sony Pictures Television and Hasbro Entertainment are taking a separate scripted Clue series to market, with no cast attached and early buyer interest reported.
  • Nicholas Stoller is attached to direct the scripted project, with Dana Fox writing and serving as showrunner, alongside executive producers Gabriel Marano, Margy Love, and Conor Welch.
  • Pitch materials for the scripted series lean into nostalgia, including manila envelope case files, and reporting describes a premise involving strangers at a billionaire’s murder mystery night.
  • The twin projects follow prior screen attempts such as the 1985 film and a 2011 miniseries, as Hasbro pursues broader TV efforts that reportedly include Dungeons & Dragons at Netflix and Magic: The Gathering with Legendary.
