Million Dollar Secret
Updated: 12/10/2025, 7:03:18 PM Wikipedia source
Million Dollar Secret is an American reality game show streaming on Netflix, which premiered on March 26, 2025 and is hosted by British comedian Peter Serafinowicz. The series features a group of contestants who stay at a luxurious lakeside estate as they play, with one of whom is secretly awarded the $1,000,000 grand prize at the start of the game. The objective for the "millionaire" is to keep their identity hidden while the other contestants attempt to uncover and eliminate the "millionaire", so that they can become the "millionare". The last player remaining is the millionaire who wins the game and the prize. The show incorporates elements of strategy, deception, and social deduction, drawing comparisons to other reality series like The Traitors and The Mole.
