Eleven strangers will be given a quarter of a million dollars to split evenly.
Following the success of The Traitors, Netflix has ordered an eight-part reality series centred around the theme of greed.
Hosted by journalist and former CNN correspondent Brooke Baldwin, The Trust: A Game of Greed will bring a group of strangers together and give them the opportunity to either split a quarter of a million dollars evenly or vote each other out and keep more for themselves.
The show is produced by Grandma’s House Entertainment, the company behind TBS’s The Misery Index and E!’s Catching Kelce, and Lighthearted Entertainment, the company behind The Big D and MTV’s Are You the One?.
But when will it land on the streamer and what will the game entail? Read on for everything you need to know.
The Trust: A Game of Greed release date
The Trust: A Game of Greed will land on Netflix on 10th January 2024, with fresh episodes dropping weekly.

How does The Trust: A Game of Greed work? Games and rules explained
The Netflix reality show will bring together a group of strangers and give them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: split a quarter of a million dollars equally among themselves.
Contestants will be given the opportunity to anonymously vote each other out, increasing their individual share of the total prize plot. Only one vote is needed to eliminate a contestant.
The contestants will also take part in a series of tests designed to test each player’s loyalty.
The official synopsis reads: “It’s the ultimate test of human nature, as greed and mistrust threaten to destroy even the strongest of relationships.
“In this game, everyone starts as winners and they can all leave as winners – if they choose to share.”

The footage also shows the contestants opening a box containing secrets about the players. “I slept with over 150 people,” one note reads.
