Following directions is only half the battle in Simon Says.
A new reality competition series based on the OG playground game of the same name is premiering on Netflix in 2027. But this isn’t the Simon you remember from recess. In a mischievous and high-stakes twist, contestants will face a gauntlet of cunning challenges, strategic mind games, and unexpected pivots as they compete for a life-changing prize. One rule remains the same: if Simon says it, you’d better listen.
To win over Simon and his prize money, players must decide when to follow orders or risk elimination. Obedience may buy another day, but every choice comes with consequences.
Showrunner Emer Harkin (MTV’s The Challenge) and executive producers Julie Pizzi, Rupert Dobson, and Gayani Wanigaratne will bring Simon’s sinister sense of humor to life. Simon Says, which is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, part of Banijay Americas, joins Netflix’s growing slate of must-watch competition series, including The Golden Ticket, Squid Game: The Challenge, Million Dollar Secret, Is It Cake?, Win the Mall and many more.
