Got To Get Out: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Locked house reality contest in which contenders plot to escape with the cash
Year: 2025
Certificate: 15
A reality contest in which strangers are sent to live in a fancy house together for ten days, with $1 million as the potential prize? Seems straightforward enough, but there are a couple of wrinkles to Got To Get Out. First, that jackpot isn't all there at the start. It slowly builds up, so the contenders can either wait for the ten days to be over and split the money between them (ha!) or they can choose to run off with it. To do that, though, you have to get through one of the house's ten locked exits - there are clues as to when they open - then make it to a car and drive through a gate before someone shuts it.
The other, Traitors-style wrinkle? Half the contenders are ordinary folk with wholesome goals for the cash, and the other half are reality TV stars who are all too used to scheming. They include The Bachelorette's Clare Crawley (her series of that show was legendary, in reality TV terms), the wonderfully villainous Spencer Pratt from The Hills and the always watchable Demi from Bachelor In Paradise, who says she's 'totalled every car I've ever had'.
Got To Get Out is one of many shows competing for people's attention when The Traitors isn't on TV, but it does the villainous side better than some. Marvel's Simu Liu plays it straight as the host. (Eight episodes)
