Netflix renewed Million Dollar Secret for season 2 on May 14, 2025. The announcement came via Netflix’s official Tudum site, which teased a “twistier” game when the series returns.
A July 17, 2025 round-up of new and returning unscripted shows again flagged Million Dollar Secret season 2 as on the way, but did not share a date.
A quick refresher on the show
Million Dollar Secret is a social-strategy reality competition. Twelve players live together while one is secretly given 1 million dollars. The hidden millionaire must dodge suspicion. The others try to smoke them out and vote them off. Season 1 ran for 8 episodes on Netflix.
Season 1 premiered on March 26, 2025. Batches of episodes dropped across late March and early April. Filming took place at Château Okanagan in Kelowna, Canada, the lakeside estate called “The Stag” on the show.
Host Peter Serafinowicz fronts the series. Cast details for season 2 are not announced
What is confirmed for season 2
- The renewal is official from Netflix.
- The series will keep the core cat-and-mouse format where a secret millionaire tries to survive.
- Netflix continues to position the show in its reality slate for 2025 and beyond.
Digital Spy also reported the renewal, calling the show a confusing but compelling twist on social deduction, which hints that the format’s mind-games remain central.
What we do not know yet
Netflix has not shared the premiere date, filming window, cast, or any rule changes. The location for season 2 is also unconfirmed. Keep an eye on Tudum and the Netflix app’s “Remind Me” button for updates.
Likely timing, based on season 1
Season 1 was filmed before its spring 2025 launch and released in three drops through April. If season 2 follows a similar path, a late 2025 or early 2026 window would make sense. This is an informed estimate based on the season 1 schedule, not an official date.
Where to watch
Season 1 is streaming now on Netflix worldwide. You can find the show page in the app or on the web to start from episode 1.
Why it matters
The show taps the same social-strategy itch as The Traitors and The Mole, but flips the prize logic. One player already holds the money. Viewers who like alliances, bluffing, and vote strategy should find season 2 easy to follow and fun to debate each week.
