Peacock绿灯通过真人竞赛节目《Assassins》 斯嘉丽·约翰逊任执行制片人
据Peacock官方10月13日星期二发布的消息，NBC环球旗下流媒体平台Peacock已绿灯通过全新无剧本竞赛节目《Assassins》，节目由索尼影视电视旗下B17 Entertainment制作，执行制片人包括演员斯嘉丽·约翰逊与B17 Entertainment联合创始人布里恩·米格尔、雷特·巴赫纳。《综艺》与Deadline等娱乐行业媒体同日报道了这一消息。
Peacock介绍，《Assassins》改编自风靡全球校园的真人游戏Assassin：参赛者自入场起，每人都会被秘密指派一个必须在赛季结束前「淘汰」的目标；但每位猎手同时也是他人的猎物，无人真正安全。节目以不断变化的结盟与欺骗为核心，笑到最后的是最善于算计的玩家。
B17 Entertainment此前制作过ABC的《The Final Straw》与Netflix的《History of Swear Words》等无剧本节目。多家媒体指出，这是约翰逊首次担任真人秀节目的执行制片人。Peacock尚未公布节目主持人、参赛阵容、制作时间表与上线日期，电视版将如何呈现游戏中的「淘汰」环节也未披露。
Peacock Greenlights 'Assassins' Competition Series, With Scarlett Johansson as Executive Producer
Peacock announced on Tuesday, October 13, that the NBCUniversal streaming service has greenlit Assassins, a new unscripted competition series produced by B17 Entertainment, part of Sony Pictures Television. The executive producers are actress Scarlett Johansson and B17 Entertainment co-founders Brien Meagher and Rhett Bachner. Trade outlets including Variety and Deadline reported the greenlight the same day.
According to Peacock, Assassins is inspired by the real-life game Assassin, played on campuses around the world. From the moment they arrive, each player is secretly assigned a target they must eliminate before the season is out; but every hunter is also the hunted, and no one is ever safe. With shifting alliances and deception, only the most calculating player will survive to win, Peacock said.
B17 Entertainment's previous unscripted work includes The Final Straw for ABC and History of Swear Words for Netflix. Multiple outlets noted that this is Johansson's first reality series as an executive producer. Peacock has not yet announced a host, the cast, a production schedule or a premiere date, and has not explained how the televised version will handle the game's elimination mechanics.
