Netflix’s reality competition series The Mole has earned a second season. Season one premiered on October 7, 2022 and season two is currently in the casting stage.

The series is described as a high-stakes competition series that finds twelve players working together in challenges to add money to a pot that only one of them will win at the end. Among the players is one person who has secretly been designated “The Mole” and tasked with sabotaging the group’s money-making efforts. In the end, one will outlast their competition and expose The Mole to win the prize pot.

Both this version and ABC’s The Mole, which aired from 2001 to 2009, are based on the Belgian format The Mole (original title De Mol) from Bart De Pauw, Michel Vanhove, Michiel Devlieger, and Tom Lenaerts.

In the series, players work together to complete missions that add money to a group pot — but among them is “the mole,” a player pre-chosen to sabotage their earning efforts. Players are later quizzed, and the person knowing the least about the mole’s true identity is eliminated.

Netflix is reviving a cult favorite from the early days of the reality TV boom.

The streamer has ordered a new version of The Mole, a competition series in which one player — the “mole” — works to undermine the others. The series, based on a Belgian format, aired for five seasons on ABC, with the last coming in 2008.

Eureka Productions (Holey Moley, Name That Tune) is behind the new version, which is slated to debut on Netflix in the fall. In the show, 12 contestants work together on a series of challenges that, if completed successfully, add money to a prize pot that only one of them will win. The mole, meanwhile, tries to sabotage the other players’ efforts while maintaining their cover as a regular player.

The Netflix show was filmed last year in Australia, per reports at the time from Reality Blurred and Buzzer Blog.

A rebooted version of the reality series “The Mole” has been ordered at Netflix, Variety has learned.

The new version of the former ABC series is expected to bow on Netflix this fall. Like the original American version, the Netflix version is based on the Belgian format “De Mol” created by Bart De Pauw, Michel Vanhove, Michiel Devlieger, and Tom Lenaerts and distributed by Primitives.

The streamer has given the new show a 10-episode order. In the competition series, twelve players work together in challenges to add money to a pot that only one of them will win at the end. Among the players is one person who has secretly been designated “the Mole” and tasked with sabotaging the group’s money-making efforts. In the end, one player will outlast their competition and expose the Mole to win the prize pot.
