‘Deal or No Deal Island’ Season 2 Cast, Premiere Date & Trailer Revealed (VIDEO)

The second season of Deal or No Deal Island will be here to help you ring in the New Year. NBC has now set the premiere date, cast, and more for the show’s next run, so here’s a look at everything we know so far about the tropical competition show’s return.

When will Deal or No Deal Island return for Season 2?

NBC announced that the premiere date for the game show spinoff will be Tuesday, January 7, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the network. The premiere will be a special two-hour event. The show will move to its regular timeslot on Tuesday, January 14, at 9 p.m. ET. Episodes stream on Peacock the following day.

Who will host Deal or No Deal Island Season 2?

Joe Manganiello returns to his post as host and the Banker’s game master. There’ll be a new mystery banker behind the scenes this time (although Season 1’s Howie Mandel is still returning in a producing role).

What can fans expect from Deal or No Deal Island Season 2?

NBC has teased that the show will have its first showmance in Season 2, that shattered alliances will lead to major confrontations in the Temple, and the challenges will be dialed up to be even more unpredictable. For more, check out the new trailer (embedded above).

Who will compete in Deal or No Deal Island Season 2?

Season 1 featured a cast of 13 contenders for the final briefcase full of cash, and only one of them was already famous for his TV work: Rob Mariano aka “Boston Rob” of Survivor fame.  Throughout the first season, Rob remained a fan favorite for his confident gameplay and strong strategic moves. However, he was also vastly outnumbered by newcomers to the television fold, one of whom he lost to.

Now, it looks like the NBC reality competition series is ramping up its reliance on familiar faces because there are not one, not two, but three small screen alums joining the fold for Season 2.

The network has unveiled the list of new cast members for the show’s sophomore run, and as the show borrows a leaf from The Traitors playbook by ramping up the celebrity factor, it’s also bringing in a VIP from that very show.
