Netflix has greenlit “Clue,” a competition series inspired by the classic murder mystery board game and 1985 film. Contestants will race to uncover the culprit, location, and weapon behind a crime. “Like so many families and friends over the years, we’ve gathered around the table trying to figure out who did it – making ‘Clue’ a source of nostalgia that everyone shares,” said Jeff Gaspin, VP of Unscripted Series, Netflix. “Thanks to the incredible vision of our partners at Hasbro Entertainment, IPC, and B17, we’re delivering a fresh, imaginative whodunit competition that will invite today’s audiences into that iconic world.” IPC and B17 are part of Sony Pictures Television, which acquired the rights to “Clue” last year.
