USA Network is encouraging a group of contestants to stay anonymous with its latest unscripted competition series. The cable network has ordered The Anonymous, the All3Media-backed production company behind series such as Peacock’s The Traitors and Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge. The series is a game of social strategy where people are free to say what they really feel behind the safety of a mask. What would you say and do if nobody was watching you? It is played in two worlds: the real world, where players interact face to face, but also a digital world, where the players communicate behind a mask of anonymity, known as Anonymous Mode. Here in individual private hideouts, each player is free to say whatever they want to advance their game. The question is: Can they stay anonymous or will the other players guess their identity causing them to lose their power in the game? The series is set to film in Europe.
