Season 1 of Deal or No Deal Island might be coming to an end, but we’re not saying goodbye to the Banker just yet! NBC just announced that Deal or No Deal Island has been renewed for a second season. That’s something to celebrate!
NBC announced the news by sharing a tweet with host Joe Manganiello sitting alongside The Traitors MC Alan Cumming. Both hosts were looking dapper as ever, sitting side by side, and holding up two fingers to symbolize Season 2. In the tweet, they suggested that we could be a “new golden age of reality competition.” They might be right.
Season 2 has the greenlight
When Deal or No Deal Island was first announced, it seemed a little odd on paper. Resurreccintg a 2000s gameshow and turning it into a reality competition show with Claudia Jordan, Boston Rob Mariano, and a bunch of other randoms on the cast just wasn’t on the 2024 bingo card. However, the show turned out to be a smash hit. We’ve tuned in every single week, and apparently, so have a lot of other people.
According to Variety. the show has averaged 5.8 million viewers across all platforms, and it’s the top unscripted show on Peacock. With numbers like that, it must have been a no-brainer for the higher-ups at NBC to greenlight a Season 2. Sharon Levy, the CEO of the production company behind the show, said in a statement just how exciting it felt to bring this concept to life.
Sharon said, “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.”
If you haven’t watched Deal or No Deal Island, you can get caught up on Peacock. The Season 1 finale airs on May 13 at 10/9c on NBC.
