Netflix is about to launch another game show, this one promising “strategy, suspense and jaw-dropping prizes.”

Neil Patrick Harris will host "What’s in the Box", described as a “high stakes game show” where contestants participate in a “massive guessing game where every decision could lead to life-changing rewards.”

It’s expected to launch in December.



“Giant boxes conceal jaw-dropping prizes, wild surprises and unexpected reveals in What’s in the Box, a high-stakes arching game show that tests smarts, strategy and stamina. Over several episodes, pairs of contestants face off in fast-paced, addictive trivia rounds, racing to correctly guess what’s inside each box.

But winning a prize is just the beginning. As the game unfolds, shifting alliances and unexpected twists mean only those with sharp instincts — and a little luck — will hold onto their winnings and claim victory.”
