\n\tEntertainment giants are truly grasping for any hint of mental property this days \u2014 including by plumbing the depths of random playground games.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Thursday Netflix announced that it’s producing a reality competition show called Simon Says<\/em>, which is indeed based on the sport where a five-year-old plays \u201cSimon\u201d and tells others to do whatever they tell them to. In keeping with the streamer, \u201cContestants will face a gauntlet of cunning challenges, strategic mind games, and unexpected pivots as they compete for a life-changing prize.\u201d But \u201cone rule stays the identical: if Simon says it, you\u2019d higher listen.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThat said, on this contest, it feels like following Simon and his wishes won\u2019t all the time pan out for the contestants. \u201cObedience may buy one other day, but every selection comes with consequences,\u201d the streamer said.<\/p>\n \n\tNo, the project doesn’t look like based on the 1999 action-comedy Simon Sez<\/em>, starring Dennis Rodman (\u201cIt ain\u2019t over til\u2026\u201d). And the streamer has not yet responded to an issue from THR<\/em> about who exactly, will inhabit the titular role of Simon.<\/p>\n \n\tShowrunner Emer Harkin (The Challenge<\/em>, Buddy Games<\/em>) will head up the series, assisted by executive producers Julie Pizzi, Rupert Dobson and Gayani Wanigaratne. Bunim\/Murray, a division of Banijay Americas, is producing the series.<\/p>\n \n\tNetflix has capitalized on semi-ridiculous or provocative concepts for its reality fare before, from Floor Is Lava<\/em> to Is It Cake?<\/em> to Love Is Blind<\/em>. The streamer has not yet publicized the discharge date for the show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Entertainment giants are truly grasping for any hint of mental property this days \u2014 including by plumbing the depths of random playground games.
