Holy pizza, they’re finally making a reality show called Overcooked.
This message dropped from Deadline todaywhich reports that the series is in the works for Netflix from A24. This would be A24’s first reality show.
The reality show is reportedly an unscripted format, similar to Nailed It! and Floor Is Lava and will feature kitchen challenges geared towards the chaos seen in the Overcooked video game. You know, like trying to cook meals in the beds of two moving trucks. Probably. I’m sure.
The series is in its early stages and is produced by Gemma Langford, Oli De-Vine and Phil Duncan, all members of the Ghost Town Games studio.
Overcooked, first released in 2016, is a cooperative game for up to four players in which players attempt to complete cooking tasks to create orders that meet customer requests, all while overcoming various kitchen obstacles. It’s a fun, tumultuous time that we gave it an 8.4/10 back in 2017 when the Nintendo Switch port first came out. As our reviewer said at the time, “Overcooked is one of the freshest couch co-op games I’ve ever played. It’s the perfect mix of strategy and mayhem, requiring you and your teammates to think on your feet as the smart and weird levels do everything they can to make sure you’ll be screaming at each other.”
The “All You Can Eat” version of Overcooked, which includes both Overcooked and its sequel, Overcooked 2, the online game and all DLC, was released in 2021.
