A24 to Develop 'Overcooked' Reality Competition at Netflix, Report Says

The project remains in early development with Ghost Town Games executives attached, marking A24’s first reality competition venture.

Overview

  • Gemma Langford, Oli De‑Vine, and Phil Duncan of Ghost Town Games are named as executive producers alongside A24.
  • Coverage describes a format inspired by Netflix titles like Nailed It! and Floor Is Lava, aiming to translate the game’s teamwork-driven chaos into high-stakes kitchen challenges.
  • No casting, episode specifics, or release timeline has been announced, and outlets note the early-stage development means the series may not reach production.
