Dropout’s newest game show asks who wants to be a... thousandaire?
The Dropout streaming service will expand its library this month with Thousandaires, a “wish fulfillment panel comedy series,” according to the company’s news release.
Some of the most riveting and heartwarming episodes of Dropout’s flagship game show Game Changer have involved episodes with cash gifting, and Thousandaires looks to be inspired by that breakout hit. In each episode, a different selection of Dropout performers and friends are given one thousand American dollars to spend on “whatever they’d like that will best entertain viewers, each other and that episode’s host.” The season’s hosts include Jacquis Neal, Jessica Ross, Oscar Montoya, Ryan Creamer, Erika Ishii, and Siobhan Thompson.
Judging by a first trailer for the series, that includes a “roller disco party,” “goth makeovers,” a mechanical bull, fantasy-themed strippers, and… a time machine? At the end of the episode, the respective host will pick one contestant to receive an actual cash prize of $1k.
Thousandaires will premiere on Dropout May 31, with new episodes of its six episode season airing every other week.
