horror movie centered on the Magic 8 Ball. Now, Mattel is partnering up with the creative forces behind The Price is Right and Let’s Make a Deal to bring the boldly colored card game to the small screen.
Per THR, Mattel and Propagate are partnering up to adapt Uno into an unscripted reality game show. Consisting of audience participation, physical challenges, trivia, and more, The Uno Game Show will feature four teams who will compete to earn the title of the ultimate Uno champions. Helmed by showrunner John Quinn, The Uno Game Show is being described as a “larger-than-life televised competition”. At this time, a network is not attached to The Uno Game Show.

Indeed, Uno has come a long way since its conception by a barbershop owner in 1971. Next year, Uno will celebrate its 50th anniversary, which could be an ideal time to premiere The Uno Game Show. Considered one of the most recognized card games of all time, Uno is currently available in more than 80 countries and has the potential to garner a massive audience. Overall, cards and board games witnessed a surge in sales this past year amid the pandemic and an unscripted series based on Uno could be a winner for Mattel.
