Hulu’s new reality competition series, Got To Get Out, features 20 contestants battling for a share of a $1 million prize. The catch? They literally have to escape the house to win. All eight episodes drop on Friday, April 11th.
Here’s the Lowdown: Hosted by Simu Liu, the show throws a mix of reality TV veterans (“Reality Royalties”) and newcomers (“Reality Rookies”) into a house together. The prize money increases over time, creating a dilemma: stay and potentially earn more, or try to escape with the current pot, leaving everyone else with nothing. Contestants include Cynthia Bailey and Kim Zolciak-Biermann (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Spencer Pratt (The Hills), and Omarosa (The Apprentice).
What This Means Now: This is a new reality format with a unique twist. The “escape” element adds a strategic layer beyond typical social games and challenges, promising plenty of drama, shifting alliances and general craziness.
The Bigger Picture: Got To Get Out is another entry in the increasingly popular genre of social experiment reality shows. The blend of established reality stars and fresh faces, combined with the time-based prize money mechanic, creates a compelling premise. Wheelhouse Studios, the company behind the show, is looking to give Hulu a new hit show. The show premieres on Hulu on April 11.
