Netflix has ordered a new reality competition series inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The series, The Golden Ticket, will combine elements of strategy, adventure, and social dynamics, as contestants seek to gain entry to a “retro-futuristic” chocolate factory (via a golden ticket, of course) and then try to make it through all the challenges they will encounter.

The show will be the first project inspired by the world of Willy Wonka since Netflix acquired the Roald Dahl intellectual property in 2021. “We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before,” said Jeff Gaspin, VP of unscripted at Netflix. “This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. For the first time, a lucky few won’t just have to imagine the experience — they’ll get to step inside the factory and live it.”
