Netflix’s dramatic competition series Million Dollar Secret is building up for a tense showdown
Content cannot be displayed without consent
Tensions are rising ahead of what is expected to be a dramatic end to Netflix’s reality competition series.
Million Dollar Secret returned for a second season on the streaming platform earlier this month. Described as a game of wit, cunning and deception, a group of 14 strangers enter a glamorous lakeside estate and in each of their rooms is a mysterious box.
Thirteen of these boxes are empty but one contains $1,000,000, and it’s for that guest to keep, as long as they keep their identity hidden. This season, the stakes are higher than ever as players face trickier agendas, gruelling challenges and navigate the ever-changing game of deception.
Episodes have been dropping on the platform in batches. The most recent instalments were made available this week (from April 22) with more than one surprise and set up a dramatic finale.
But ahead of the final episodes, fans may need a recap of this season’s cast and when who of them have been eliminated so far. Here’s all you need to know.
