Netflix is doubling down on deception: The Mole has been renewed for Season 2, the streamer announced Wednesday.
In the series, players work together to complete missions that add money to a group pot — but among them is “the mole,” a player pre-chosen to sabotage their earning efforts. Players are later quizzed, and the person knowing the least about the mole’s true identity is eliminated.

Netflix is reviving a cult favorite from the early days of the reality TV boom.
The streamer has ordered a new version of The Mole, a competition series in which one player — the “mole” — works to undermine the others. The series, based on a Belgian format, aired for five seasons on ABC, with the last coming in 2008.
Eureka Productions (Holey Moley, Name That Tune) is behind the new version, which is slated to debut on Netflix in the fall. In the show, 12 contestants work together on a series of challenges that, if completed successfully, add money to a prize pot that only one of them will win. The mole, meanwhile, tries to sabotage the other players’ efforts while maintaining their cover as a regular player.
The Netflix show was filmed last year in Australia, per reports at the time from Reality Blurred and Buzzer Blog.
