The USA network’s upcoming gaming reality show The Anonymous will premiere on Monday, August 19, 2024, at 8 pm P.T. Fans who enjoy competition reality shows such as Squid Game: The Challenge and The Traitors are in for a treat.
The Anonymous will feature 12 players who spend their time in separate domains and personal underground hideouts. With their strategic, unfiltered takes on the other participants, they can deceive and plot against their competitors to become more popular and enhance their influence over others.
All these, while staying "Anonymous," is the game. Additionally, players who remain anonymous will receive powers, and the last one to stand will take home the prize pot of $100,000.
