Deal Or No Deal Island gets Season 2
Details about Season 2 production haven’t rolled out yet but NBCUniversal officials confirmed that Deal Or No Deal Island will be back with another season to “test the contestants and the Banker’s limits.” Corie Henson, exec Vice President of unscripted content at NBC said, “With expert gameplay, adventure, and a new layer of strategy, the reimagined ‘Deal or No Deal Island’ had fans on the edge of their seats, just like the original.” She also thanked host Manganiello as the biggest gamer of all and the crew. 
2024’s Deal Or No Deal is adapted from the original 2005 American version of the game show that Howie Mandel hosted. The latest version presents new twists where 13 contestants travel to a banker’s private island and participate in challenges, garnering a viewership of 5.8 million on all platforms. It is also the top-running NBC unscripted show on Peacock.
The players have to find $200 million worth of Deal Or No Deal briefcases hidden around the island, with one contestant facing the banker for a successful deal. The contestant who finds the most valuable briefcase will have the power to choose another player who shall face the banker. Anyone who fails to make a worthy deal will be eliminated. Overall, the earnings are collected in a designated pot that the winner shall take home after the season finale.
