Netflix and A24 are developing a reality competition series based on the video game Overcooked, aiming to translate its chaotic, cooperative kitchen chaos into a high-stakes TV format.

The unscripted show would mimic the game’s teamwork and fast-paced cooking challenges, with inventive kitchen layouts and shifting stages to create entertaining chaos.

Overcooked, first released in 2016 as a four-player co-op title about completing cooking tasks under chaotic conditions, has a legacy of frantic collaboration that the series intends to adapt.

Optimism surrounds the concept, but there is a caveat that the project may not reach completion.

Rebekah Valentine of IGN is the reporter covering the development, with contact details provided.

The collaboration represents a notable cross-media move, expanding Overcooked’s universe into television.

No definitive launch date or episode count is announced, per Deadline’s reporting.

Readers are invited to engage and react, with comments noted from forums.

The project is framed as part of Netflix and A24’s broader push into ambitious adaptations, alongside other game-to-screen efforts like Elden Ring and Marty Supreme.

The adaptation could explore imaginative settings—such as space or nautical themes—to mirror the game’s creative cooking environments.

The format aims to translate the game’s engagement loop—progressive challenges and cooperation—into TV competition while keeping fun and chaos at the forefront.

This development sits within Netflix’s broader slate of game adaptations, including potential BioShock and Assassin’s Creed projects, signaling a strategic push into game-based content.
