A rebooted version of the reality series “The Mole” has been ordered at Netflix, Variety has learned. The new version of the former ABC series is expected to bow on Netflix this fall.

Like the original American version, the Netflix version is based on the Belgian format “De Mol” created by Bart De Pauw, Michel Vanhove, Michiel Devlieger, and Tom Lenaerts and distributed by Primitives.




The streamer has given the new show a 10-episode order. In the competition series, twelve players work together in challenges to add money to a pot that only one of them will win at the end.

Among the players is one person who has secretly been designated “the Mole” and tasked with sabotaging the group’s money-making efforts. In the end, one player will outlast their competition and expose the Mole to win the prize pot.

Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, Rikkie Proost, David Tibballs, and David Burris serve as executive producers on the show. Eureka Productions will produce.

I am very excited for this. I was a big fan when the show was on originally, and I just enjoy the concept of it in and of itself.

I know this reboot is from the producers of "Holey Moley", so I hope they don't go too silly. Part of the fun was how self-serious the show took itself.

EW can exclusively reveal that Ari Shapiro of NPR’s "All Things Considered" will be the new "Mole" master of ceremonies. It is something of a full-circle moment for Shapiro, who actually applied to be a contestant during "The Mole’s" original run on ABC over 20 years ago.
