The Mole

About The Show

Based on the classic Belgian TV series "De Mol", The Mole offers a fresh twist on reality game shows. Contestants come together, aiming to complete various physical and mental challenges to add money to a collective pot. But there's a twist: among them is The Mole, a player tasked with secretly sabotaging their efforts. The game isn't just about winning challenges; it's about observation, deduction, and deciding whom to trust. Every episode is a battle of wits, where the ability to discern truth from deceit can be the difference between going home or moving forward.

Meet The Host

Enter Ari Shapiro – the renowned journalist and captivating host of the rebooted series on Netflix. With his sharp wit, analytical mind, and compelling presence, Ari perfectly embodies the spirit of The Mole. Known for his work on NPR's "All Things Considered," Ari brings a depth of insight and a keen sense of storytelling to the show. His background in journalism adds a layer of credibility and intrigue to the strategic play and suspense that the game promises. With Ari leading the charge, contestants and viewers alike are in for a suspense-filled ride.

How It Works

Throughout the series, contestants will embark on a series of missions, each designed to test both their physical prowess and mental agility. Success in these tasks means more money for the group's pot, while failure might incur penalties. Among the challenges are also secretive missions, known only to a select few, adding another layer of strategy and mistrust. But the real game is in deciphering the identity of The Mole. After each episode, contestants take a quiz about The Mole's actions and identity. The least knowledgeable player is then eliminated, bringing the group one step closer to the final prize and the revelation of The Mole's identity.
