Irresponsible Netflix execs summon 'Willy Wonka reality show' into existence

In news that simultaneously caused every single person you know who owns a bow tie to sit up and pay terrible, exuberant notice, Netflix revealed today that it’s working on a reality show based around Willy Wonka. This, despite the fact that the the last time Wonka attempted to intrude into our reality, it went so poorly that it produced public apologies, waves of social media derision, and an actual stage musical chronicling the horrors that emerged.

” Essentially, the streamer got the rights to the basic concept of “a Wonka reality show” when it bought the Roald Dahl Story Company back in 2021, and now it’s just waiting for someone to walk up with a good idea, or, more likely, an idea. And while Deadline notes that the bidding has apparently been winnowed down to reality TV giant Fremantle and Warner Bros.
