Deal or No Deal |
Deal or No Deal Island is an American reality competition series which premiered on NBC on February 26, 2024.
A spin-off of the game show Deal or No Deal , the series features contestants competing in physical challenges in an island setting to retrieve briefcases containing cash values. The winner of the challenge selects a contestant to play the "Banker's Challenge"—a game of Deal or No Deal where they must aim to make a "good" offer on their chosen briefcase to avoid elimination. The last contestant remaining plays a high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal, with the largest prize being a jackpot formed from the total value of the offers received throughout the season.
Deal or No Deal Island is a reality game show in which a group of contestants compete in excursions to collect briefcases hidden across the Banker's private island, an undisclosed island in the Panama islands. [1]
Each episode, the contestants compete in Excursions and must undertake physical challenges to retrieve briefcases with varying cash values. Certain challenges may include "red cases," which either permit a contestant to seize another player’s briefcase [2] or contain a minimal cash amount. [3] Contestants securing the lowest-valued briefcases are deemed at risk and may be selected to face the Banker's Challenge. The contestant or team gathering the highest combined case value gains immunity for that evening and determines which lower-ranking contestant will confront the Banker. [4]
The Banker's Challenge is a conventional high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal between the Banker and the player chosen to compete by the winner of the Excursion. In each round, the player must open one or more cases, revealing their values and eliminating them from play. At the end of the round, the Banker presents the player with an offer. If the player accepts an offer higher than the value in their chosen case, or if they play through every round and their case is higher than the Banker's final offer, they remain in the game and must eliminate one of the other players. Otherwise, the player is eliminated. Regardless of the outcome, the amount of the accepted offer (or the final case, if the game is played to its conclusion) is added to the value of the highest case at stake in the season finale. [4] The Banker may, at his discretion, offer a cash bonus that the player can keep regardless of the outcome of the Banker's Challenge or the overall competition. [5] In some cases, if the player accepts this bonus, they must leave the game immediately. [6]
In the end, the final few contestants compete in a series of challenges to determine the winner who earns the right to play a conventional game of Deal or No Deal with 22 cases in season 1 and 26 cases in season 2 to determine their prize. However, this game is played with the Banker (now revealed to be Howie Mandel, the original host of Deal or No Deal) present in person. The top half of the board consists entirely of cases containing $1 million or more, including the largest cases found during each Excursion. The highest valued case was the total of the amounts won in all Banker's Challenges of the season, which in season 1 resulted in a top case valued at $13,857,000, in season 2 resulted in a top case valued at $12,232,001. [4]
On May 12, 2023, NBC ordered the series. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] On September 27, 2023, it was announced that Joe Manganiello would host the show. [12] [13] On November 20, 2023, it was announced that the series will premiere on February 20, 2024. [14] [15] On January 8, 2024, the contestants were announced. [16] On May 7, 2024, the series was renewed for a second season. [17] The second season is set to premiere on January 7, 2025.
In the first season finale, Howie Mandel appeared as the Banker.
The cast of 13 contestants includes familiar faces such as reality TV personality and former Deal or No Deal case model Claudia Jordan and former five-time Survivor contestant and two-time The Amazing Race contestant Rob Mariano. [18]

Writing for The Daily Beast , Fletcher Peters argued that Deal or No Deal Island was a "dreamlike, messy, absurdist concept" that sounded like a "title ripped from 30 Rock ", and that she would have preferred another straight reboot of the original show, but that it was a "welcome twist on the original romp" and was "easy" to watch. [38]
Andy Dehnart was more critical, considering it "an awkward marriage of two different formats" that "tip[ped] way too much toward Deal or No Deal for my taste", panning the length of the Banker's Challenge segments (albeit admitting that he was not as much of a fan of Deal or No Deal to begin with due to its pacing), and the quality of its editing.
