You don’t have to worry about picking the wrong briefcase when it comes to getting more Deal or No Deal Island, because the spin on the classic game show continued with Deal or No Deal Island season 2 on NBC.
Deal or No Deal was a bit of a phenomenon when it premiered on US TV back in 2005, as contestants picked one of 26 briefcases hoping it contained $1 million dollars but could be as little as $1. Deal or No Deal Island didn’t just take that concept and move it to a tropical island for a backdrop, it reinvented the game, brought in a host of players and challenges, and quickly became a fan favorite.

Deal or No Deal Island season 2 format
On Deal or No Deal Island, the classic briefcases associated with the game are scattered around the island, with more than $200 million potentially up for grabs to be split between the contestants. Each episode sees contestants compete in challenges to secure the briefcases that will be used in the episode’s classic game of Deal or No Deal. The player with the highest value case gets immunity and picks a player to enter “The Temple.”
The selected player then plays Deal or No Deal. If they make a bad deal (they take an offer from the banker that is less than what was in their briefcase), then they are automatically eliminated. If they make a good deal (for more than what was in their briefcase), then they get to pick who is eliminated from the game.
The winnings amassed from each game are added to a group pot that will grow throughout the season, the last player standing will take on the banker to potentially win a massive cash prize (season 1’s winner Jordan Fowler took home $13.85 million dollars).
There are also some new features to the game this season. There is a new banker, which NBC has confirmed is a woman, who will be looking for her next protégé among the contestants. The network also teases that the show will feature its first romance between contestants and new and exciting challenges.
