Deadline

Mattel, which is developing an Uno game show, is turning another classic game into a TV series. The Whac-A-Mole game show, based on the classic arcade game and made in partnership with American Idol producer Fremantle, "will turn the game into an elimination competition during which opposing teams will use their skill, strength and endurance to face off to become the ultimate Whac-A-Mole champion," per Deadline. "The unscripted series will incorporate life-sized Whac-a-Mole, races and obstacle courses, along with a twist."
