Chuck E. Cheese’s grand plans continue to be expanded following the success of the somewhat related Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, as the company is looking into making a game show in the vein of Squid Game’s deadly competition (minus the nasty deaths in cases of failure, of course).
The Hollywood Reporter shared the news on January 17, stating that Magical Elves, the renowned producers of Top Chef and other famous reality TV hits, are behind the project. It’s being designed as something akin to Squid Game’s titular show, “as it has adults competing in larger versions of games they played as kids.”
Netflix already debuted its IRL take on the series’ fictional game show to great success, so it only makes sense that Chuck E. Cheese is looking to take advantage of both the renowned interest in game shows as well as the burst of mainstream popularity the eerily similar Five Nights at Freddy’s IP is experiencing after Universal and Blumhouse’s hit horror flick.
