Willy Wonka ‘Golden Ticket’ Competition Series Coming to Netflix

Netflix has announced an upcoming competition series based on the world of Willy Wonka. Aptly named “The Golden Ticket,” the streaming giant describes this as a “high-stakes social experiment.” Hopefully, it won’t go the way of that Wonka experience in Glasgow.

“We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before,” Vice President of Unscripted at Netflix Jeff Gaspin said. “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.”

While details are scarce, Netflix teases “Wonka’s guests must withstand games, tests, and temptations designed to prove their instincts, resilience, and ability to thrive in the chaos of a retro-futuristic dreamscape.”

Applicants must be 18 or older, and can apply for the series here. No filming locations have been revealed yet.
