More from Variety Netflix to Launch New Competition Series 'Million Dollar Secret' With Host Peter Serafinowicz (EXCLUSIVE) In 'Million Dollar Secret,' hosted by Peter Serafinowicz, one of 12 contestants is given $1 million and must hold onto the money as rivals fight to hunt them down and claim it for themselves. 'Eliminate the millionaire and the money moves to someone new,' reads Netflix's description of the game, in part. 'When should they strike? Too soon and they become the target; too late and they may never get the money. Meanwhile, the millionaire can try to get rid of the cash if the heat becomes too much. This is a game of strategy and alliances, where predators can become prey in the blink of an eye.' Season 1 of 'Million Dollar Secret' debuted on March 26 with three episodes. The next two premiered on April 2 and the final two on April 9. Variety first announced the details of the series in May 2024. The first season consisted of eight 45-minute episodes. It's produced by Wheelhouse U.K. and Spoke Studios ('Love & WWE,' 'Buying Beverly Hills'). Charles Wachter serves as showrunner and executive produces alongside Glenn Hugill, Will Nothacker, Russ Friedman, Joe Coleman and Pam Healey. Netflix also ordered 'Star Search,' a revival of the popular '80s and '90s show that launched the careers of Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and more. It will air live twice a week with a livestream that includes viewer voting that determines which contestants advance to the next round. 'Each episode will spotlight the best up-and-coming performers across four categories — music, dance, variety/comedy, kids — as they compete for their shot at stardom. With an arced competition structure and weekly eliminations, the series builds dramatic momentum, making every live episode an unmissable event,' reads the description. It's executive produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt and Elaine Metaxas for Jesse Collins Entertainment, with Jason Raff as showrunner. The host, judges and premiere date will be announced at a later time.
