Netflix details Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired reality show, The Golden Ticket

Netflix has opened applications for its Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired reality competition series, The Golden Ticket.

The show – a ‘high-stakes social experiment’ – will see players enter the world of Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, where they must take on games, tests, and temptations designed to prove their ‘ability to thrive in the chaos of a retro-futuristic dreamscape.’

The filming location and premiere date for The Golden Ticket will be announced at a later date.

“We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before,” said Jeff Gaspin, Vice President of Unscripted at Netflix.

“This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy, and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. For the first time, a lucky few won’t just have to imagine the experience – they’ll get to step inside the factory and live it.”

The Golden Ticket is the latest Roald Dahl project from Netflix since they joined forces with the Roald Dahl Story Company in 2021.
