About The Mole (Netflix) TV Series:
The Mole is an American reality game show originally broadcast on ABC from 2001 to 2008 and reintroduced on Netflix in 2022. It is based on other versions of the original Belgian TV series De Mol broadcast in many countries.
Following the conclusion of Season 5 of The Mole, ABC did not comment on its consideration for a sixth season. On April 8, 2009, they announced that the show had been canceled. Fans have also created their own private site to encourage the signing of an online petition, e-mailing ABC executives, as well as sending “lemon-heads” to ABC headquarters in New York.
On May 3, 2021, BuzzerBlog posted an article seeming to confirm that a show known as The Insider on casting sites is likely a new season of The Mole filming in Australia in June and July 2021. Netflix added seasons 1 and 2 of The Mole to its US streaming library in June 2021, leading to speculation they will air a new season of the series.
In a three-week release, the reboot of The Mole launched on Netflix on October 7, 2022. The setting for this season was Australia, with Alex Wagner as host. In February 2023, Netflix renewed the series for a seventh season.
The seventh season, which is the second season by Netflix, premiered on June 28, 2024. The season was hosted by Ari Shapiro and set in Malaysia.
Format:
A high-stakes competition series and in this reimagined version, twelve players work together in challenges to add money to a pot that only one of them will win at the end. Among the players is one person who has secretly been designated “the Mole” and tasked with sabotaging the group’s money-making efforts. In the end, one player will outlast their competition and expose the Mole to win the prize pot.
