‘Deal or No Deal Island’ Renewed for Season 2 at NBC

“Deal or No Deal Island” has been renewed for Season 2 at NBC.

The news comes just under a week ahead of the Season 1 finale, which will air on May 13. Hosted by Joe Manganiello, the series is averaging 5.8 million total viewers across all platforms, per NBC, and ranks as the top NBC unscripted series on Peacock.

“With expert gameplay, adventure and a new layer of strategy, the reimagined ‘Deal or No Deal Island’ had fans on the edge of their seats, just like the original,” said Corie Henson, executive vice president of unscripted content at NBCUniversal. “A huge thanks to our crew and the biggest gamer of them all, host Joe Manganiello. Together we’re thrilled to be back with another season that will be sure to test the contestants and the Banker’s limits.”

In the series, players compete in challenges to secure the iconic “Deal or No Deal” briefcases hidden across the island. In each episode, the player that secures the highest-value briefcase gains immunity and sends another player to “The Temple.” If that player makes a deal with the Banker for less than the value of their briefcase, they are eliminated. If they make a good deal, they stay in the game and select whom should be eliminated. The winnings from each game are added to a communal pot, with the last player at the end of the season potentially winning it all.

“It was incredible to see how audiences immediately took to the new format of ‘Deal or No Deal Island,’ welcoming Joe Manganiello and the Banker’s guests into their homes and bringing new life to the iconic IP,” said Sharon Levy, chief executive officer of Endemol Shine North America. “We’re thrilled that NBC has picked up a second cycle and eagerly anticipate seeing how the Banker will physically test and mentally challenge a new season of contestants as they compete for a transformative jackpot.”

The series is produced by Endemol Shine North America and is a reimagined version of the Banijay “Deal or No Deal” format. Manganiello executive produces the series, as does Howie Mandel, host of the original American version of “Deal or No Deal.” Matt Kunitz, Vittoria Cacciatore, and Jeffrey Breeden also executive produce along with Endemol Shine North America’s Sharon Levy, Michael Heyerman and Sean Loughlin.
