This is incredible news: Netflix and A24 are finally bringing the beloved 'Overcooked' video game to life as a reality TV competition series.
The exclusive report, revealed by Deadline, confirms the unscripted project is in development at Netflix, marking A24's first foray into the reality television genre.
The show promises a format reminiscent of popular series like *Nailed It!* and *Floor Is Lava*, thrusting contestants into wildly chaotic kitchen environments and challenges directly inspired by the video game. Think frantic cooking in unpredictable scenarios, such as attempting to prepare meals in the back of two moving trucks. It's sure to be a spectacle.
Currently in its early development phase, the series is being produced by Gemma Langford, Oli De-Vine, and Phil Duncan, key members of the game's original developer, Ghost Town Games.
Originally launching in 2016, the cooperative game *Overcooked* quickly became a couch co-op favorite. Players team up to prepare and serve a wild variety of dishes against the clock, navigating cleverly designed kitchen obstacles with hilarious and chaotic results. IGN awarded it an 8.4/10 in a 2017 review of its Switch port, praising it as "one of the freshest couch co-op games I’ve ever played... a perfect blend of strategy and chaos."
The definitive collection, *Overcooked! All You Can Eat*, which bundles the original game with *Overcooked! 2*, all downloadable content, and online multiplayer, was released in 2021.
