Here’s How Netflix’s ‘The Mole’ Works

“Twelve strangers will compete together with a common goal: Complete missions, get paid,” Alex Wagner states in the series’ trailer. Once again, sounds simple enough. But the titular Mole is there to ensure that the pot of cash remains stagnant as the game continues. It would be easier to spot said Mole if they were a small, velvety, burrowing mammal with an appetite for bugs. (Hold the tomatoes!)

According to Netflix’s Tudum, the group is made up of students, pilots, warehouse workers, and firefighters.
