Netflix has confirmed that it is casting for The Golden Ticket, a new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reality show, to be made by Fremantle label Eureka.
Following the release of the films Matilda the Musical and The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar, The Golden Ticket is the latest Roald Dahl project from Netflix, which joined forces with the Roald Dahl Story Company in 2021.
The Golden Ticket is casting over 18s.
“We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before,” said Jeff Gaspin, Vice President of Unscripted at Netflix. “This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy, and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. For the first time, a lucky few won’t just have to imagine the experience — they’ll get to step inside the factory and live it.”
The Twits, an animated movie based on Dahl’s 1980 book of the same name, is also set to hit Netflix this year. It was produced with Jellyfish Pictures, which recently ceased trading to explore options for sale and investment.
