Numerous networks and streamers are engaged in a bidding war for Hasbro’s reality competition series based on the iconic board game Monopoly. The show is reportedly a large-scale social experiment, described as a battle of “strategy, alliances, and cutthroat competition” in which contestants “battle for fortune and navigate the fine line between capitalism and chaos” to emerge as the ultimate landlord. The news closely follows the announcement that Spider-Man: Homecoming writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein will pen the screenplay for Lionsgate and LuckyChap’s upcoming Monopoly film adaptation.
