"Hilarious co-op video game Overcooked is making the move to the real world. A24 has acquired the rights to the popular indie hit and reports that the company is working with Netflix to develop the concept into an unscripted competition reality TV series. I adore this idea, and with the right people behind it, I think it could be a masterwork of reality TV."
"The often ridiculous antics of Overcooked are a wonderful match for that type of lighthearted competition show. In the game, one to four players work together to cook customers' food orders as quickly as possible while the environment creates silly, unexpected obstacles. Unfortunately, there's no way the Netflix legal team will green light challenges where contestants might fall into actual lava, and recreating the space travel levels would probably blow the budget."
A24 has acquired the rights to the cooperative video game Overcooked and is working with Netflix to develop the concept into an unscripted competition reality TV series. The project would mark A24's first reality program while Netflix brings experience with lighthearted cooking shows such as Nailed It!. Overcooked's gameplay involves one to four players collaborating to prepare customer orders amid chaotic, shifting environmental hazards. The television adaptation could recreate safe, game-inspired obstacles like icy floors, moving countertops, and sudden darkness while avoiding dangerous stunts. No production timeline has been announced.
