Have you ever dreamed of drowning in a chocolate river while a bunch of Oompa Loompas sing at you? Well, Netflix is ready to make it a reality! The streamer just announced a new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired reality competition called The Golden Ticket, and they want you to be a part of it.
Casting opens for The Golden Ticket on Netflix
Netflix is already home to some iconic reality shows, but this one is taking things in a unique direction. According to a release from Netflix, The Golden Ticket is a “high-stakes social experiment” where players will have to “adapt and strategize” to keep their place in Willy Wonka’s factory. There’s no word on what you win for outlasting the competition, but either way, this all sounds pretty sweet.
The synopsis explained, “Wonka’s guests must withstand games, tests, and temptations designed to prove their instincts, resilience, and ability to thrive in the chaos of a retro-futuristic dreamscape.”
The Golden Ticket is just the latest of Netflix’s pursuit to adapt Roald Dahl’s books. They previously released adaptations of Matilda and The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar. With The Golden Ticket, Netflix is clearly trying to get creative.
Lots of details about this show are still unknown. Willy Wonka might be played by Nick Lachey, knowing how Netflix likes to operate. We’ll also have to wait a while before this hits our screens — they still have to give out the golden tickets!
Fortunately, you won’t have to unwrap a bunch of candy bars to get your way into the factory. Golden Ticket casting is open now if you’re looking to step into a world of pure imagination. They’re looking for people 18 years of age or older and legal residents of the United States. If your name is something like Augustus or Violet, this might just be your destiny calling.
