Scarlett Johansson is moving into reality TV as executive producer of Assassins, a new competition series ordered at Peacock. It will be the first reality series she has produced.
She is executive producing alongside Brien Meagher and Rhett Bachner of B17 Entertainment, a part of Sony Pictures Television. In the Peacock version, each contestant is assigned one person to eliminate before the season ends.
Every hunter is also the hunted, and no one is ever safe in this intense psychological competition. In the real-life game, players typically use Nerf guns or water pistols to mark their targets.
No host has been announced yet for this anticipated project, keeping fans in suspense. Assassins follows Peacock's hit The Traitors, the Emmy-winning Mafia-style game hosted by Alan Cumming.
NBC is currently airing The Traitors: New Blood, and Peacock will air season six of the celebrity edition next year. Johansson joins other A-list names behind reality competitions, including Brad Pitt, who serves as an executive producer on Fox's Lego Masters.
Johansson's production company, These Pictures, has previously produced Fly Me to the Moon and Eleanor the Great. It also has the series adaptation Just Cause coming to Prime Video along with The Nanny Diaries at Netflix.
She was also recently announced as an executive producer for a comedy project from her husband, Colin Jost, and The Office alum Danny Chun, financed through brand deals.
